The 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards were held in Atlanta on Saturday night, where Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj took home three trophies each. Jay won for Perfect Combo for "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys, CD of the Year for The Blueprint 3 and Best Live Performer, while Minaj earned Rookie of the Year, People's Champ and the Made You Look award, which was given in recognition of her fashion flair. Minaj hasn't even released an album yet, and garnered the three wins.
"Last year, I was here in anticipation of [rap freestyle showcase] the cypher," Minaj told the crowd, according to an MTV report. "Now I'm here in anticipation of my debut. I'm paving the way for girls. I wanna thank all the girls of Hip-Hop."
Other winners on the night included Rick Ross, who took home two awards for the song "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)" for Club Banger of the Year and Track of the Year (for producer Lex Luger). Salt-N-Pepa were honored with the I Am Hip-Hop award, while Diddy won the Hustler award, Swizz Beatz was named Producer of the Year, and DJ Khaled won for Best DJ.
The BET Hip-Hop Awards show, hosted by Mike Epps, will air on Tuesday, October 12 at 8 p.m. on BET.
