flag The BET Hip Hop Awards ended after 19 years due to corporate changes and declining music programming.

flag The BET Hip Hop Awards have been discontinued after their 2024 broadcast, ending a 19-year tradition. flag The cancellation follows corporate changes, including a Paramount-Skydance merger that required the elimination of DEI initiatives. flag Once a major platform for hip-hop, especially Southern rap, the show declined as BET reduced music programming, notably ending 106 & Park in 2014. flag Despite hip-hop’s ongoing dominance in music and culture, the awards’ end reflects a broader trend where cultural institutions are deprioritized when tied to corporate profitability.
