Roddy Ricch Wins Album of the Year at 2020 BET Awards
Roddy Ricch bagged one of the top honors at the 2020 BET Awards last night. He took home Album of the Year for his debut album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, beating DaBaby's Kirk, Megan Thee Stallion's Fever, and Lizzo's Cuz I Love You.
Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial dropped back in December and boasted guest spots from Meek Mill, Ty Dolla $ign, Gunna, Lil Durk, and more. It hit the top spot on the Billboard 200 charts within a week. Since, it has reached number one on the chart on four different occasions, per XXL.
Ricch didn't just win one award last night, though. He also took Best New Artist, and performed two tracks "High Fashion" and "The Box," while wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt. Watch below.
