The future of the BET Hip-Hop Awards and Soul Train Music Awards is in limbo. In a recent interview with Billboard, BET CEO Scott Mills confirmed that the two staple awards ceremonies will not return for the foreseeable future as the company works to reconfigure its place amid changes in the media and entertainment industries.

According to Scott Mills, BET's CEO, both the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the Soul Train Music Awards have been indefinitely suspended.

Hip-hop powerhouses Fat Joe and Jadakiss have stepped into the discourse surrounding BET’s decision to suspend its popular Hip Hop Awards. In a recent episode of their show, “Joe and Jada,” the rappers reflected on how the award show has changed over the years.
