The “Heartbreak Anniversary” singer won the 2021 BET Award for Best New Artist. The award show’s theme was “Year of the Black Woman” and had a socially distant in-person ceremony with vaccinated guests. Last year’s BET Awards were held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Giveon wasn’t present at the ceremony, he walked the red carpet wearing a sophisticated black and white outfit.
