<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSurprise: Kehlani\u2019s \u201cFolded\u201d video<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\tKehlani\u2019s \u201cFolded\u201d won video of the year, beating, among others, Doechii\u2019s \u201cAnxiety,\u201d which won a Grammy for best music video on Feb. 1, and Teyana Taylor\u2019s \u201cEscape Room (Short Film).\u201d Taylor won a separate award here for video director of the year.<\/p>\n
\n\tKehlani\u2019s soulful ballad won two Grammys earlier this year \u2014 best R&B song and best R&B performance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nSnubs: Doja Cat and Latto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\tDoja Cat and Latto both went 0-4, making them the night\u2019s biggest shut-outs.<\/p>\n
\n\tNine artists tied as the night\u2019s second<\/em>-biggest shut-outs, going 0-3 on the night: A$AP Rocky, Bruno Mars, Bryson Tiller, Chris Brown, Jill Scott, Metro Boomin, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Tems and YK Niece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nSurprise: Mariah the Scientist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\t\u201cBurning Blue\u201d won the viewers\u2019 choice award, prevailing over tracks by several acts who won in other categories: \u201cChains & Whips\u201d by Clipse feat. Kendrick Lamar, \u201cFolded\u201d by Kehlani; \u201cMan I Need\u201d by Olivia Dean; and \u201cOutside\u201d by Cardi B.<\/p>\n
\n\tMaking it even more of a surprise: This was Mariah the Scientist\u2019s only victory from her five nominations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nDisappointment: Cardi B<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\tCardi B\u2019s long-awaited second studio album, AM I THE DRAMA?,<\/em> lost album of the year to Clipse\u2019s Let God Sort \u2019Em Out<\/em>. This won\u2019t help Cardi in her longshot bid to land a Grammy nod for album of the year. Cardi\u2019s debut album, Invasion of Privacy<\/em>, won the BET Award en route to a Grammy nod for album of the year.<\/p>\n\n\tCardi, who was the year\u2019s most-nominated artist with six nods, didn\u2019t go home empty-handed. She won best female hip-hop artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nDisappointment: RAYE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\tRAYE made history at the BRIT Awards in 2024, becoming the first artist to win six awards in one night. But she hasn\u2019t (yet) won as many awards in the U.S. as her talent would indicate. She lost best new artist at the Grammys in 2025 to Chappell Roan. At tonight\u2019s BETs, she lost best new artist to Olivia Dean. (At least she\u2019s losing to other talented artists.)<\/p>\n
\n\tDon\u2019t get the idea that RAYE should start to sing \u201cWhere Is My Award!\u201d She\u2019s likely to do very well in the upcoming Grammy nominations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nMinor Upset: Leon Thomas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\tThomas won best male R&B\/pop artist for the first time. His win was hardly a big surprise \u2013 his 2025 smash \u201cMutt\u201d is an old-school R&B ballad with broad appeal \u2013 but three of the artists he beat in this category \u2013 Bruno Mars, Chris Brown and Bryson Tiller, had more overall nominations (three) than Thomas did (two).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
