The BET Hip Hop Awards are laughable because of their supposedly low budget, being held at a nightclub

When the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards finally went live on BET and VH1 on October 15, several highlights appeared online as netizens congratulated those who won trophies during the event. Unfortunately, some of their attention was drawn to the awards ceremony venue.

Netizens couldn’t hide their frustration over the show being held at a nightclub. Some also mentioned how “low budget” the choice of location was despite the prestige and reputation of the awards ceremony.

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), some comments included “Is this an awards show or a nightclub?”, “Why are they filming in a club? I can literally saw the parts” and “They really took it to a nightclub level, it’s time to end this show.”

Specifically, the “nightclub” they mentioned is Drai’s nightclub in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Because it was a special occasion, netizens were confused by the show’s location, to the point where some expressed that the show had to be “abandoned” due to lack of funding.

I’m not watching right now but apparently BET decided to hold the Hip Hop Awards at Drai Nightclub in Las Vegas?! This year’s budget is probably very low. #HipHopAwards pic.twitter.com/Ko0QXKQafZ

the #HipHopAwards being reduced to a party in a club the size of a 757 lounge makes me feel disrespectful to those who have spent decades trying to legitimize this art form but maybe just have me ☹️

The hip hop awards ceremony was hosted by Fat Joe for the third time. It also includes several nominations for artists who have had a significant impact on the hip hop genre with their music releases.
