Beyoncé won four NAACP Image Awards, more than anyone else in the music field this year. Queen Bey shares two of those awards with Megan Thee Stallion, her partner on the smash “Savage.” Beyoncé’s proteges Chloe x Halle and composer Jon Batiste were also two-time winners.

(She shared the latter award with her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, as well as WizKid and SAINt JHN.)

Chloe x Halle won outstanding duo, group or collaboration (traditional) for “Wonder What She Thinks of Me” and outstanding soul/R&B song for “Do It.”
Jhené Aiko’s "Chilombo", which was nominated for album of the year at the Grammys, won for outstanding album.
