BET Hip-Hop Awards 2023: DJ Spinderella, DaBaby, Fat Joe, Coi Leray, more walk red carpet

The BET Hip-Hop Awards is tipping its hat to the past and looking ahead to the future – all with a stylish flair.

The annual music awards show, which honors the best and brightest in hip-hop, returned Tuesday with a ceremony held at Atlanta's Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The award show's telecast is set to air Oct. 10.

In honor of the 50^th anniversary of hip-hop, the ceremony will feature performances by new age stars DaBaby, Fivio Foreign, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, as well as hip-hop icons Kid Capri, Kool DJ Red Alert, Scott Storch, and DJ Spinderella.
