Snoop Dogg and wife Shante Broadus were honored at the Give Her FlowHERS Awards Gala

Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus, were honored with the Black Love Award at the 2024 Give Her FlowHERS Awards Gala.

The legendary hip-hop artist and his wife accepted the award during the third annual Femme it Forward Gala held on Friday (November 8) at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

In his acceptance speech, Snoop reflected on the importance of the award. “That's beautiful because during my career I've been nominated and won a lot of awards, but there's nothing like an award that brings you back on stage to let people know that's why you're so successful.” the rapper shared, standing next to Shante, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

He continued, “I've been nominated for 20 Grammys and I've never won one, but this one is better than one. And for the couples out there tonight, it's always going to be hard, it's always going to be hard, but if it's true love and it's meant to be, it's always going to be good news. This is true love. Black love.”

The 2024 Give Her FlowHERS Awards Gala, hosted by Saweetie, also honored other music artists including Jill Scott, Chloe Bailey, Halle Bailey, GloRilla, Doechii, Lady London and Nija.

Saweetie, who was also presented with an award, expressed her gratitude in her speech. “I would like to thank God because without prayer and faith, I would have lost my mind a long time ago,” said the rapper. “We all know this because we know how crazy this industry can get, but tonight this room is safe. Thank you all for allowing us to be vulnerable.”

Femme it Forward founder Heather Lowery, in her opening remarks, appeared to acknowledge the emotional impact of the 2024 US presidential election results, particularly among supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris.

“To the women and girls who are over-qualified and under-appreciated, are you all holding out if you've felt this way at any point in your journey?” Lowery said, according to THR. “We want to hold space for you tonight and remind you that we see you, we honor you, and you are more than enough. You are the reason we are here tonight. I know we have all been overwhelmed with so many emotions these past few days. I want you to treat your grief the same way you would treat your garden. Take care of it. Give it space, give it time, let it blossom.”

Other notable honors during Friday's gala included the My Sister's Keeper award presented to siblings Chloe and Halle Bailey. the Visionary Award for Doechii; the Big Femme Energy price for GloRilla. and the Muse Award for Jill Scott.
