It's been a while since we had any awards news, so here's a double helping. Mary J Blige, Kanye West and Jamie Foxx were all double winners in the music categories at the US's BET Awards on Tuesday night, the awards event that recognises cultural and sporting achievements in the country's black community.
Blige won Best Female R&B artist, while she was co-winner of the Video Of The Year for the promo that accompanied 'Be Without You'. She was 'co-winner' because there was a tie in that category - West and Foxx were also awarded the title for the video to their track 'Gold Digger', which also won both men a prize for Best Collaboration.
Accepting his prizes Foxx told the awards audience "love to all black people", while West remarked: "Y'all are stepping up black music. This is the best music right here, and we've got to keep on giving it to them like that".
Other music winners included TI who won the Male Hip Hop Artist award, Prince, who won Best Male R&B Artist, and Chaka Khan, who was given a Lifetime Achievement award. Accepting her award, Khan said: "I am so honoured to be honoured by my people. This means everything to me".
