ATLANTA - T.I. didn't need to attend the BET Hip-Hop Awards to take home two trophies.
The rapper, who is locked up in an Arkansas penitentiary on a federal weapons conviction, won for best collaboration and CD of the year.
His fiancee Tameka "Tiny" Cottle accepted his awards at the ceremony in Atlanta on Saturday.
Jay-Z was honoured as the "MVP of the Year," while Ice Cube received the "I Am Hip-Hop" icon award.
Kanye West, meanwhile, couldn't hijack the stage, because the rapper was a no-show.
West had been expected to attend the fourth annual awards show.
He fell under scrutiny for interrupting Taylor Swift's award-winning moment at last month's MTV Video Music Awards.
The award show will air on Oct. 27.
