Angela Bassett did the thing – and has been doing so for decades!

This award season has seen the legendary actress honored in earnest for her stunning performance as Queen Ramonda in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.’

The latest accolade to be bestowed upon Bassett was the Best Supporting Actress Award at the AAFCA Awards 2023 in Los Angeles. In a sweet, full-circle moment, the prize was presented by producer, director, and Bassett’s ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ co-star  Vanessa Bell Calloway.

Prior to the star receiving the honor, That Grape Juice‘s Shar Jossell caught up with her on the red carpet – where she opened up about this season of “gratitude.” She playfully welcomed continued buzz around Ariana DeBose‘s now infamous BAFTA performance and the oh-so-apt lyric we’ve been singing since – “Angela Bassett Did The Thing”!

Queen of Funk Chaka Khan has fans of Adele, Mariah Carey, and Mary J. Blige in a funk after she took to ‘The Originals’ podcast recently to suggest she was disappointed the divas ranked higher than her on Rolling Stone’s infamous “200 Greatest Singers” list.

In fact, the 69-year-old even admitted in the same interview that the two “loved each other” and are good friends but that didn’t stop her from reasserting the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul royally butchered the 1975 classic ‘Sweet Thing’ (Chaka’s signature song).
