Tastemakers and sceneshakers — both in front and behind the scenes — were celebrated at Billboard’s 2024 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event on Thursday, September 5. 

At The New York EDITION, the likes of Playboi Carti (R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year), Megan Thee Stallion (R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year), Teezo Touchdown (Rookie of the Year), Rachelle Jean-Louis (Executive of the Year) and more were honored at the intimate ceremony in front of their peers and industry heavyweights. 

While the celebrations took place inside the venue, the neighboring Time Square intersection was also flooded with congratulatory feels, courtesy of INFINITI. On a massive jumbotron outside of the venue, a victorious message showed love to all the recipients of this year’s coveted R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players list.
