Kanye West Top Honours at BET HIP HOP AWARDS 2012

Kanye West retained his throne at the BET HIP HOP AWARDS, winning an impressive 7 awards, including Best Live Performer and Producer of the Year, at the seventh annual awards held
in Atlanta, Georgia.  2 Chainz had a great night too, taking home
three trophies, including the People's Champ Award and Rookie of the
Year as well as performing at the show.  Rick Ross beat heavy-hitter
Jay-Z for MVP of the Year, but Hov's business acumen earned him the
Hustler of the Year title.

The BET HIP HOP AWARDS premieres across Africa on Saturday 13 October


Kendrick Lamar provided the biggest upset of the night, when the
rookie rapper bested veterans Nas, Jay-Z and Kanye West for Lyricist
of the Year, while Drake and Lil Wayne earned the top spot in the
Video of the Year category for their "HYFR" clip.

Hosted by US funnyman Mike Epps, the BET HIP HOP AWARDS delivered an
exceptional night filled with Hip Hop’s biggest stars and highly
anticipated performances.  Wiz Khalifa opened the show with a
performance of “Work Hard / Play Hard” featuring Juicy J and Young
Jeezy accompanied by a live band.
