Travis Scott earns the “I Am Hip Hop” trophy at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards.
The 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards aired tonight after previously being recorded in Las Vegas on October 8th. Travis Scott, who attended the event after being nominated in seven categories, was honoured with the “I Am Hip Hop” Award.
“I come from a generation where they considered us nowhere near ‘hip-hop.'” he said in his speech. “And every day I try to push the sound. Coming in as a producer nobody knew what I was trying to do. But I always had this idea and I had this vision, still to this day, just to take things to the next level.”
“I just want to thank BET for actually recognizing me,” he added. “I be feeling like sometimes people don’t give a f–k about me. So, this is actually dope.”
The rapper also shared a response on his social media with a thank you message for the fans. “To my members that been supporting me since day one. You know who u are strom ,biz, bizzle. To everyone I worked with on music. To the fans I call family. Love yall that award for yall. Let’s keep rocking !!!!”
