On Sunday, Sean “Diddy” Combs was honored at the 2022 BET Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award, an annual prestige given to “industry giants who have not only significantly shaped culture through their extensive careers, but who have also been transformative leaders that consistently inspire generations by setting a true standard of excellence.”
