The BET Awards were last night, and not surprisingly, Beyonce nabbed a number of trophies, along with the stars of Empire. But who cares about the winners when there was all sorts of awesome drama!

1. Rihanna Threw A Wad Of Cash At BET Exec Stephen Hill ... And Duct Taped Floyd Mayweather's Mouth Shut!


Beyonce may have won all the awards, but Rihanna was the queen bee of the BET Awards -- as evident from the fact that she threw a stack of money at BET programming prez Stephen Hill right before she walked onstage to present one of the final awards of the night. Of course, the duo's argument was totally staged, and Stephen later joked on Instagram that they "kissed and made up." Still, we love the drama!

Earlier in the evening Bad Gal RiRi did something that many folks have probably wanted to do over the years -- she duct taped boxer Floyd Mayweather's mouth shut!

2. Amber Rose And Blac Chyna Went As Each Other's Dates

That's one way to get our attention! And even though Amber and Blac have a history of being drama queens, we love the message they're sending.

"Chyna @blacchyna and I went to the BET awards as each other's Date to celebrate Marriage Equality #LoveWins," Amber wrote on Instagram. "#LoveWins it’s truly amazing to think about all of the changes we’re able to see during our generation. When our children are grown they probably won’t even believe that once upon a time Gays and Lesbians were unable to get married. It’s like how we feel about women not being able to vote or the fact that slavery actually happened here in America smh. This is a great day for us as people! There’s no downgrades or upgrades it’s all about."

3. Diddy Fell Into A Hole Onstage

We don't need to say much about this, but we WILL watch this Vine probably at least twenty times today. It's that good.

4. Janet Jackson Won The Ultimate Icon Award

Janet Jackson received the Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award on Sunday night, and she was serenaded by a handful of stars before she went onstage to accept her award. Tinashe opened the set, with Jason Derulo taking over and singing a rendition of Janet's "All for You," and Ciara closed out the show and performed “Rhythm Nation."

“It’s been a very long journey to this moment,” Jackson told the crowd when she accepted her award. “My heart is so full. Thank you, God, for making everything possible. I’m so grateful for the support you’ve always given me, to my beautiful mother and beautiful father, and to my entire family. Your love is unbreakable. Many thanks to Jimmy and Terry for our incredible history and to everyone who performed in the tribute tonight. Twenty five years ago, we created Rhythm Nation hoping the world would be a better place, but today there is even more to be done. Last but not least to my loving husband and to all the fans, I’ve missed you so much and I love you so much. Thank you! Thank you, BET."

5. Laverne Cox Turned Heads In A Sexy Jumpsuit ... And Then Wears The Same Dress As Gabrielle Union!

Caitlyn Jenner better watch her back, because last night Laverne reminded us all that she's the hottest transgender star in Hollywood! The 31-year-old Orange Is The New Black actress worked it on the red carpet in a sexy blue jumpsuit, but that wasn't the only time she stole the show!

Later in the evening Laverne was joined onstage by Gabrielle Union to present the Best Actor Award, and both of them were wearing the exact same white cut-out Halston Heritage gown! Obviously this was planned, but we really got a laugh out of it:
