Despite being a nominee for the “Best Hip Hop Platform” BET award, N.O.R.E. and his popular podcast “Drink Champs” lost yet again, this time to Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please”. The unexpected defeat left the “Oye Mi Canto” rapper feeling bitter and unappreciated.
Key Takeaway
N.O.R.E. expresses disappointment after losing the “Best Hip Hop Platform” BET award to Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please” for the second year in a row. Yung Miami’s success and viewership have outperformed N.O.R.E.’s “Drink Champs” podcast, further solidifying her position as an influential figure in the hip hop industry.
N.O.R.E.’s Disappointment
Following the announcement of the 2023 BET Hip Hop Award winners during Tuesday’s airing, N.O.R.E. took to Twitter to express his frustration. In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote, “So nobody gonna say nothing about the podcast/media award? Ok, me neither!!!” It was clear that N.O.R.E. was not taking the loss lightly.
The Triumph of Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please”
Yung Miami not only emerged victorious over “Drink Champs,” but also managed to surpass other industry heavyweights like “The Breakfast Club” and Joe Budden’s podcast. However, the allegations made last year, suggesting that Diddy had paid off BET for Yung Miami’s win, did not gain traction this time. Nonetheless, Yung Miami’s fans wasted no time in celebrating her victory and rubbing it in N.O.R.E.’s face.
In the past year, Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please” has garnered a significant viewership, outperforming N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s podcast. It even provided one of the most memorable moments for “Drink Champs” when Yung Miami deemed herself the “Black Oprah” during her appearance on the show in August.
Other Winners at the BET Hip Hop Awards
Alongside Yung Miami’s triumph, the BET Hip Hop Awards recognized notable individuals from the world of hip hop. Superstars like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Ice Spice also secured well-deserved victories in their respective categories. The awards ceremony, held last week and hosted by Fat Joe, brought together top talents in the industry.
