Though she and husband Jay-Z are currently in the middle of their co-headlining “On The Run” tour Beyoncé walked away as the big winner at this year’s BET Awards.
She took home three awards, including the 2014 FANdemonium award, voted on by viewers.
Pharrell Williams and August Alsina also had a happy night, taking home two awards.
For the fifth year in a row, Nicki Minaj won for best female hip hop star, and in her acceptance speech, she praised herself as a hip-hop star who doesn’t have someone writing for her, an apparent dig at fellow nominee Iggy Azalea.
12 Years a Slave was selected as best movie and the film’s stars, Lupita Nyong’o and Chiwetel Ejiofor, taking home acting awards. Lionel Richie was honored as the lifetime achievement award recipient.
Hosted by Chris Rock, The BET Awards included performances by Pharrell, Trey Songz, Minaj, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne among others.
