Episode Details

Lauryn Hill is set to receive the inaugural Living Legend Icon Award at the BET Awards, honoring her groundbreaking artistry, cultural impact, and timeless influence since the 90s — from her Fugees days to the historic Grammy-winning The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which even earned Library of Congress preservation. As a trailblazer who set trends rather than followed them, Hill’s legacy spans decades, earning her induction into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nods. BET’s EVP Connie Orlando called her a cultural architect whose music empowered generations to be bold, spiritual, and unapologetically themselves. The award ceremony will take place June 28 at the Peacock Theater in LA — a moment long overdue for a true icon.
