Beyoncé garnered four prestigious awards at the NAACP Image Awards last night. She won Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Music Video for her song “Brown Skin Girl.” Queen Bey competed against H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan, Ledisi, and Alicia Keys for the former prize. In the music video category, she beat her own promo for Black is King. Aside from these categories, Beyoncé won Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration(Contemporary), and Outstanding Hip Hop/Rap Song with Megan Thee Stallion for their remix to Megan’s song, “Savage.”
Beyoncé’s artists, Chloe X Halle, received two awards for Outstanding Duo, Group, or Collaboration (Traditional). Their hit single, “Do It,” won the Outstanding Soul/R&B Song award. Ironically, Beyoncé’s “Black Parade” was nominated for the award as well.
During the night, Doja Cat was named Outstanding New Artist, and Drake took home Outstanding Male Artist. Jhene Aiko‘s Chilombo was awarded the Outstanding Album prize. Beyoncé’s NAACP success follows her breaking the record for having the most Grammy Award wins by a female artist.
About breaking the record, she said:
“I’m so honored. I’m so excited.”As an artist, I believe it’s my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times, and it’s been such a difficult time. So I wanted to uplift and encourage all of the Black queens and kings. I can’t believe this happened. It’s such a magical night.”
Congrats Yoncè!
