Alicia Keys, Rihanna, P Diddy and Jennifer Hudson were among the super-celebrities at the annual event, which honours African-Americans in the entertainment industry.
Alicia Keys arrived at the event in a fitted red dress and knuckle dusters which said "Love" and "Hate". The singer was the only female winner that was in-house to collect her award, and dedicated it to the other nominees in the category. She later performed her latest single "Teenage Love Affair" and then joined in a spectacular collaboration with En Vogue, SWV and TLC.
