As of my last update in early 2023, The BET Hip Hop Awards were typically broadcasted live on the BET network. The event celebrates the achievements of artists in the hip-hop genre, including performances, awards, and special tributes. However, due to unforeseen circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the format of the awards show, including whether it is live or pre-recorded, might change.
For the most current information about the BET Hip Hop Awards, including the date and whether it will be live, you should check the latest updates from the BET network or their official website. They usually announce details about their awards shows well in advance.
