BET has just dropped a major bombshell – both the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the Soul Train Awards have been suspended indefinitely.

Full story below…

BET CEO Scott Mills told Billboard the move is about the shift in media habits and financial realities for BET’s linear channel, he said:

“So for BET line, we have suspended the Soul Train and Hip Hop award shows.”

The awards aren’t canceled forever; BET is reportedly exploring where they’d best fit in a digital-first world.

So, no more Hip-Hop cyphers lighting up fall and no more bold Soul Train tributes shining in the winter for now.

Still, these shows were pillars of Black music culture, and while the platform may change, the absence hits deep.

Will you miss the shows?
