The 2018 Soul Train Awards was full of SOULLLLLL! 

The award show — which was held on November 17, but aired on BET Sunday (November 25) night — featured performances by Faith Evans, Jacquees, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Erykah Badu  (to name a few)! 

Tichina Arnold and Tisha Campbell hosted the star-studded evening, giving Martin fans the mini-reunion we've all been waiting for. The longtime besties didn't disappoint as they stole the night with their hilarious jokes and skits. 

On top of an action-packed show, the evening also featured a few shockers, including, the fact that the biggest winners of the evening were actually newcomers Daniel Caesar and Ella Mai. The two not only walked away with the most awards — Daniel won two awards and Ella owned the night walking away with not one, not two, but three Soul Train awards — but some of the biggest and most respected awards!
