All the viral moments from BET Awards: Jamie Foxx cries, Doechii lets rip and skinny Lizzo's cameo


Doechii won her first BET Award for Best Female Hip Hop Artist on Monday night, using her acceptance speech to address the unrest over ICE raids in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old Tampa rapper (born Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon) beat out Cardi B, Doja Cat, GloRilla, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Rapsody and Sexyy Red for the award, during the ceremony at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Her speech turned serious, though, after that, addressing the protests in downtown Los Angeles over mass deportations and ICE raids, which President Donald Trump responded to by deploying the National Guard in a controversial move.
