<p>Last night, the BET Honors Award Show at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. The star studded event celebrated pioneers in the entertainment industry that have made extraordinary contributions to black culture.</p>
<p>Even though the show is pre recorded a month a head, social media has helped us get some exclusive pictures and award moments, including Kanye West receiving the Visionary Award for his &#8220;extraordinary contribution across the arts&#8221;. Ironically, Dame Dash was the one who presented the award, which speaks volumes because Dame Dash was reportedly very candid about his checkered past with Kanye. Kim was also present to support her man as he accepted his award.</p>
<p>Here are some of the other Honorees of this year&#8217;s show:</p>
