Fasho Thoughts:
- This year’s BET Cyphers feature Leikeli47, Kash Doll, Fat Joe, CyHi The Prynce, 6LACK, Tee Grizzley and more.
- What’s your favorite part of watching award shows? The performances, the fashions, the speeches, or the celebrity sideyes and jokes on social media?
- The show was taped in advance, which means it won’t be running over.
