The American Music Awards might’ve jerked Kendrick Lamar out of a few well-deserved awards a few weeks ago, but the BET Awards sure as hell didn’t as the biggest rap star in the game today walked away with more awards than he could handle by the time the annual ceremony was over.

While the culture is proud to see Kendrick Lamar finally get his flowers on a consistent basis, the streets of LA continue to be embroiled in political turmoil as the Trump administration continues to escalate their war on the Latino immigrant community by unnecessarily sending in military personnel to quell the peaceful protests against the ICE raids that have been taken place for the past few days.
