Hosted by Grammy-nominated and Golden Globe®-winning actor, writer, director, producer, and philanthropist Taraji P. Henson, the entertaining celebration of Black excellence featured buzzy performances from Chlöe, Latto, Lizzo, Muni Long, and legendary guests saluting Diddy who was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
In his nearly 10-minute speech, he thanked everyone from Bobby Brown to his ex-bae Cassie to forever love Kim Porter before Diddy bopping through his hits.
He also pledged to donate $1 million to HBCUs Howard University and Jackson State University in the latest chapter of the Black college renaissance.
Also worth noting was a surprise appearance by Mariah Carey who descended from the Heavens to perform the ‘Big Energy’ remix with Latto and ODB’s son Young Dirty Bastard.
Other buzzy moments included Latto (Best New Artist), Silk Sonic (Album of the Year/Best Group), Jazmine Sullivan (Best Female R&B/Pop artist), Wizkid & Tems (Best Collaboration), and Will Smith, and more winning awards.
