Megan Thee Stallion was the big winner at the 2021 BET Awards on Sunday.

In addition to being named Best Female Hip Hop Artist, the rap star won for her Cardi B collaboration “WAP” (Collaboration and Video of the Year) and for her “Savage” remix ft. Beyoncé (Viewers’ Choice Award).

Bruno Mars shared his BET Awards with Anderson .Paak (Silk Sonic was named Group of the Year) and Florent Déchard (Video Director of the Year) for “Leave the Door Open.”

Canada was repped by nominees Drake, The Weeknd and Tory Lanez, but all three came up empty.

During the show, Queen Latifah accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award. “I want to thank BET for creating an outlet for beautiful Blackness to thrive, to shine,” she said.

Among the performers was Lil Nas X, who delivered a version of "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" inspired by the 1992 video for Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time."
