In addition, Sean “Diddy” Combs was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was resented by Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Kanye "Ye" West.

Henson, presenter Janelle Monae and best female R&B/pop artist winner Jazmine Sullivan all criticizing the move within the first 17 minutes of the show.

Monae gave the middle finger and said, “Fuck you, Supreme Court” (the swear word was censored, but the gesture was not), while Sullivan called on males to support females in fighting for their rights.

Best new artist winner Latto later joined the criticism against the Supreme Court.

The Weeknd (who was not present) as best male R&B/pop artist and Zendaya (also not present) won best actress for her work in both Euphoria and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Blige, who three years ago received the Lifetime Achievement Award during the show, won the BET Her award for Good Morning Gorgeous.

In addition, Sean “Diddy” Combs was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the show, presented by Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Kanye “Ye” West.
