Davido's performance of "Feel it' and 'Unavailable' from his 'Timeless' album was a highlight of the 2023 BET Awards

The 2023 BET Awards went down on Sunday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, U.S., with Burna Boy doing Nigeria proud by winning the Best International Act for a fourth time.

Tems snagged the "Best Collaboration" award for contributing to Future's 'Wait For U' featuring Canadian rapper Drake.

Chris Brown and Usher beat Burna Boy to the "Best Male R&B/Pop Artist". It was a tie between Chris Brown and Usher.

SZA and Beyoncé each won three times, including tying for the Album of the Year Award.

The event celebrated 50 years of Hip Hop, with Busta Rhymes receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Highlights of the event include legendary Patti LaBelle's tribute to the late Queen of Rock & Roll, Tina Turner, and Davido's performance of "Feel It' and 'Unavailable' from his 'Timeless' album.

Other performances included Kid' N Play, Uncle Luke, Warren G, E-40, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Master P, Remy Ma, Trick Daddy, Trina, the Ying Yang Twins, Chief Keef, Soulja Boy, and Tyga. 2023 nominees Coco Jones, Doechii, and GloRilla also graced the stage.

The awards, which honour the year's best performances in music, TV, film and sports, followed in the footsteps of many other awards broadcasts and went without a host for its 50th anniversary.
