Busta Rhymes is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 BET Awards this weekend.
BIA, Coi Leray, dancehall artists Spice, Cutty Ranks, Dexta Daps, Supercat, M.O.P., Rah Digga, Scar Lip, Swizz Beatz and more will perform a tribute to Busta, honoring his influential career, which has spanned three decades.
The star-studded award show will happen at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.
In an article published by Billboard Friday, the outlet noted that Busta’s big night continues the streak for rappers.
For three years in a row, the lifetime achievement award has gone to emcees.
Last year, Sean “Diddy” Combs took home the honor.
The year before that, Queen Latifah earned the accolade.
Past recipients from other genres include Whitney Houston, who became the first to be presented with the distinguished trophy in 2001, and Mary J. Blige in 2019.
