Kanye West displayed a rare moment of humility at the BET Hip-Hop Awards on Sunday night.

After winning the Video of the Year award for “Stronger,” West took the stage and poked fun at all of the trophies he was passed over for (he lost in all five categories he was nominated for at the MTV Video Music Awards).

“Every time I’m nominated for something I fix my scarf, but then I don’t be comin’ up,” he cracked.

He then became uncharacteristically humble and said that he thought the groups UGK and Outkast deserved the award instead for their collaborated song “International Players Anthem.”

“I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to win an award I shouldn’t win,” West said, calling the groups to come take his statue.

After UGK and Big Boi of Outkast took the stage, they thanked the 30-year-old rapper but then gave the award back to West, saying that he deserved it.

The love-in ended with West accepting the award back and everyone leaving the stage.
