Culture\u2019s Biggest Night will broadcast live on Sunday, June 28 at 8 PM ET\/PT on BET, from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Druski as host.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Ultimate Icon Award honors the trailblazers whose work has transcended their field, figures whose names have become synonymous with excellence. This distinction belongs to those few who didn\u2019t just succeed within the culture; they expanded what the culture believed was possible, leaving a mark so enduring it cannot be measured by any single era or achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A visionary executive whose life\u2019s work has been dedicated to uplifting artists, expanding culture, and contributing to the ongoing genius of American music, Rhone made history as the first Black woman to lead a major record company owned by a Fortune 500 corporation. She remains one of the most influential executives the industry has ever known. Across leadership roles at Epic Records, Universal Motown, Elektra Entertainment Group, Atlantic Records, and EastWest Records, she consistently transformed businesses and identified and developed generations of iconic artists, including <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/missy-elliott\/\"><strong>Missy Elliott<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/busta-rhymes\/\"><strong>Busta Rhymes<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, Stevie Wonder, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/lil-wayne\/\"><strong>Lil Wayne<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, En Vogue, Tracy Chapman, Erykah Badu, Brandy, Kid Cudi, Gerald Levert, Anita Baker, Tamia, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/mc-lyte\/\"><strong>MC Lyte<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, Yo-Yo, Yolanda Adams, Akon, Fabolous, Ol Dirty Bastard and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most recently, Rhone served as Chairman and CEO of Epic Records, where she accelerated the label\u2019s global impact and guided a diverse roster of chart-topping and culture-defining artists, including Travis Scott, Future, 21 Savage, Tyla, Giveon, Mariah The Scientist, Zara Larsson, Andre 3000 and Meghan Trainor. She transitioned from her leadership role at Epic in 2025 after helping drive one of the label\u2019s most successful periods in recent history. Beyond her business achievements, Rhone has long been recognized for her intentional leadership and commitment to equity. She pioneered inclusive talent and promotion practices that reshaped executive culture across the industry, creating pathways for greater representation of women and people of color both onstage and in boardrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cSylvia Rhone\u2019s influence extends far beyond the music business and into the culture itself,\u201d said Connie Orlando, EVP &amp; Head of Programming, BET. \u201cShe championed artists and executives, shattered ceilings that had never been broken, and redefined what leadership looks like for women and people of color in every boardroom that followed. Her legacy is heard in the music, seen in the careers she built, and felt in the generation of leaders walking the path she cleared. We are proud to honor Sylvia Rhone with the Ultimate Icon Award at the \u2018BET Awards\u2019 2026.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a title=\"Hip-Hop hats, buckets, snapbacks, beanies.\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The \u201cBET Awards\u201d 2026 airs live Sunday, June 28, from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, hosted by Druski.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bshntrk.com\/39S894\/9PDGHT\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63241\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DisneyHulu900.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63241\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DisneyHulu900.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\"\/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>legendary music executive Sylvia Rhone will receive the Ultimate Icon Award at the \u201cBET Awards\u201d 2026.
