Kanye West humbly accepts the BET Visionary award

The 37-year-old hip-hop star delivered a heartfelt speech at the ceremony in Washington DC, which was filmed on 24 January, but was shown in full for the first time on Monday night.

Kanye - who watched a video tribute to him from the likes of Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar and Common - began by saying: "I understand - maybe for the first time in my life - how it is to feel humbled."
