On Thursday (September 6), Bulletin board and Tres Generaciones presented Joey Bada$$ with the Tres Generaciones Tequila Impact Award at the 2024 Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players Event.
Held at the Edition Hotel in Times Square, Bulletin board Associate Director of R&B/Hip-Hop Carl Lamarre presented Bada$$ with the award for his impact on the community, thanks to his newly-revealed program, Impact Mentorship.
“It means a lot. This is the first time I have been honored with any kind of award,” said Joey Bulletin board. So that goes a long way for me, personally. It's nice to be recognized. It's confirmation and affirmation that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.”
Created in 2023 by Bada$$ and former hip-hop manager and writer Sophia Chang, the mentoring program is for black and brown men over the age of 18 seeking guidance in a variety of fields including sports, fashion, music, entertainment and more. Over the summer, Bada$$ held its first Impact Summit at Columbia University, featuring actor Malcolm Mays, contemporary American artist Jahlil Nzinga, and Ghetto Gastro culinary and art collective co-founder Jon Gray.
The evening's festivities also honored Megan Thee Stallion, Playboi Carti and Teezo Touchdown. Megan and Carti received R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year for their respective performances in 2024, while Teezo won R&B/Hip-Hop Rookie of the Year. Victoria Monet was on hand to present her manager, Rachelle Jean-Louis, with Executive of the Year, making her the second woman to receive the award after Beyonce in 2019.
