Nicki Minaj Wins Big at BET Hip-Hop Awards

By Christine Fenno Posted Oct 3rd 2010 02:43PM

The 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards took place last night in Atlanta, and MTV News reports that Nicki Minaj continued her hot streak by picking up three trophies: Rookie of the Year, People's Champ and the Made You Look award, bestowed for her unforgettable fashions.

"I'm paving the way for girls," she said. "I wanna thank all the girls of hip-hop."

Although he was absent from the ceremony, Jay-Z also picked up three awards: Best Live Performer, Perfect Combo (for his Alicia Keys duet "Empire State of Mind"), CD of the Year (for 'The Blueprint 3').

The ladies of Salt-N-Pepa were recipients of the I Am Hip-Hop Award.

The show opened with Rick Ross (who won two trophies during the evening), along with Diddy and DJ Khaled, performing his hit "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)." As the stars segued into "MC Hammer," the rapping led up to an appearance from MC Hammer himself -- who performed his classic "2 Legit 2 Quit."

B.o.B., Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Freekey Zekey, Big Boi, Yelawolf, Soulja Boy Tell'em, J. Cole, Cali Swag District, Digital Underground, Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame were among the other performers.

The awards, hosted by Mike Epps, will air Oct. 12 (8 p.m. EST).

white people are so racist and bigoted. she is an artist who is making music that she likes. just because she is not naked or rolling around on the floor or wearing clothes made of meat doesn't mean you have the right to disrespect her. but then again, you white people are so delusional to think you are superior to everyone else. pathetic is what you all are

By Morgan

I"m African-American, White people aren't all delusional and bigoted. Yeah, alot of the ones posting maybe, but they don't represent the entire race. I feel bad for the racist and bigoted people I meet who are white. But that doesn't make me dislike the entire race. I agree with your second and third sentence entirely however.

Yeah Mona, a little stereotypical, don't you think!? Not all white people are racist, just like I'm sure not all black people are racist. I guarantee there are just as many racist blacks as there are racists whites but I choose not to focus on them because they aren't worth my time but let's not hate on everyone unnecessarily!

By SiastaEg

Black people can't be racist! Ha, they are more so than the white folks. It is just tolerated.
