Nipsey Hussle, the late rapper who was a respected and beloved community activist in South Los Angeles, will be honored at the 2019 BET Awards with the Humanitarian Award.
The posthumous honor will be presented Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The rapper is also nominated for best hip-hop male artist at the awards show.
After releasing a number of successful mixtapes, Hussle found greater success with"Victory Lap," his major-label debut album released last year. It earned him a Grammy nomination — his first — for best rap album, though the project lost to Cardi B's multi-hit"Invasion of Privacy." Lil Nas X, whose"Old Town Road" is spending its 11th week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart, will perform the global hit alongside country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Other performers include Migos, H.E.R., Lizzo, Lil Baby, Meek Mill, Fantasia, DaBaby, Jeremih and Kirk Franklin.Actress Regina Hall will host the show, where nine-time Grammy winner Mary J. Blige will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and media mogul Tyler Perry will earn the Ultimate Icon Award.
