The 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards are a recognition ceremony held October 6 at the Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach, Florida, and aired October 10 on the BET cable channel. The nominations were announced on September 15, 2017.

Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled, and Cardi B led the BET Hip-Hop Awards 2017 with nine nominations apiece. Kendrick and Cardi B tied for MVP of the Year, Single of the Year, Hustler of the Year, and Best Hip-Hop Video. Meanwhile, Khaled was out for the crown in the DJ of the Year, Best Hip-Hop Video, and Producer of the Year categories.[1]

JAY-Z and Chance the Rapper were tied for the second-most nominations with five nods each. Both were nominated in categories like Lyricist of the Year, MVP of the Year, and Impact Track. Elsewhere, Future and Migos received four nominations apiece.[1][2][3]

The show was notable for Eminem's slamming of Donald Trump in a freestyle rap, calling out the President for focusing on National Football League players' protests during "The Star Spangled Banner" instead of Puerto Rico's recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Maria, and delivering an ultimatum to Trump supporters who are also fans of the rapper to choose between the two of them.[4]
