The carpet was blue at the BET Awards in a tribute to Nipsey Hussle, who was shot dead aged 33 in March.
John Legend and DJ Khaled performed a musical tribute to Nipsey during the ceremony, which celebrates black culture in America.
Other winners included British singer Ella Mai, Cardi B and Childish Gambino – while Mary J Blige was given a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Accepting the Humanitarian Award on his behalf, Nipsey Hussle’s girlfriend Lauren London said: “Thank you guys for all the love and support.”
She added: “The Marathon continues again,” referring to his Marathon clothing shop – which was where he was shot.
Nipsey Hussle’s parents, grandmother and three children were also on stage to accept his award.
