Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X Win Two Hip Hop Awards

Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X collected two trophies for Best Collab, Duo or Group and Single of the Year with Lil Nas X on their record shattering 19-week No. 1 “Old Town Road” (remix, featuring Cyrus) at the BET Hip Hop Awards honors.

“Thank you to the BET Hip Hop Awards and hip hop/rap community for the Best Collab and Single of the Year wins. You kept OTR at No. 1 for 19 consecutive weeks. More importantly, you made me feel welcomed into your home and world. I’m dedicating these wins to Mr. Nipsey Hussle – a legend gone way too soon,” Cyrus shared.

Recently, Cyrus learned he was nominated in the Musical Event of the Year category with Lil Nas X during the 53rd CMA Awards after taking home two MTV VMA Moonmen for Song of the Year and Best Direction for Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road (Remix, featuring Cyrus).”
