Donald Glover’s BET Awards Joke: Fewer Wins Than Expected?

Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, jokingly questioned his BET Award count compared to Sam Smith’s at the 2024 BET Awards. While presenting Album of the Year, Glover expressed confusion about having only one BET Award, the same as Smith, despite having more Grammys than Will Smith. He humorously pondered if starring in a Tyler Perry film would increase his chances. The ceremony, held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, also featured a tribute to Usher and the debut of Will Smith’s new single. Glover won Best Music Video in 2019 for “This is America,” while Smith won Best New Artist in 2015. Killer Mike, the Album of the Year winner, reflected on his past Grammy arrest and celebrated his return to awards ceremonies.
