Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, Jesse Williams and many more stars took home honors from the 2016 BET Awards.

The night was filled with tons of exciting moments, from Queen Bey and Kendrick’s awesome opener, to the Prince tribute that should have always been, to Jesse Williams’ really real speech about racial injustice and inequality in America. The show, which was simulcast on Comedy Central and TeenNick, took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, CA and was successfully hosted (once again) by Black-ish co-stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross.
