#BETAwards25 RECAP: The GOOD, The BAD & The UGLY! [vids]

We are STILL REALING from Culture’s BIGGEST night, the 2025 BET Awards went down this past Monday NIGHT…. yes a MONDAY. Different from in the past from a Sunday night live broadcast, but the TONY AWARDS aired that Sunday, so, to avoid CONFLICT the grand FETE was moved back a DAY.

Nonetheless, Kevin Hart RETURNED as HOST and did not DISAPPOINT… too much. LOL. We CELEBRATED 25 years of the BET Awards and 45 years of BET! We had ALOT to celebrate, and not to mention not one, not 2, not 3, but FOUR ICON AWARD recipients in ONE NIGHT– Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, Kirk Franklin and Mariah Carey!

For these AWARD shows, I USUALLY give my ‘GOOD,BAD and UGLY’ review, but for this show…. It was hard to find any BAD or UGLY infarctions this year! This was one of the best-produced shows BET has put on in years! I am not sure what the RATINGS were, but I AM SURE the RATINGS were through the ROOF! Let’s DIVE right in!

Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War.
