Less than two weeks separate us from the 2020 BET Awards!
Pressing forward unconventionally with its first ‘virtual showing’ on June 28, Urban entertainment’s biggest night is set to be hosted by actress-comic Amanda Seales and feature stage-blazing performances by the likes of Usher, Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, and more (as we reported here).
As fans clamor over which of their favorite acts will take home the show’s coveted trophies (click here to see nominations), BET is saving for last its announcement of who will be the recipient of its prized Lifetime Achievement Award. Already listing legendary acts like Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Patti Labelle, Prince, and Lionel Richie among its honorees, the 2020 trophy has been shrouded in mystery as to who will be its designated awardee.
