Official 2025 BET Awards thread. Who is tuning in tonight?

[OneDeep]

who you want singing them high notes?

Fare enough

 

[jshani]

So they got nobody to play Mariah’s hits

Shameful

I feel like Mariah wouldnt want nobody to do it if she didnt pick em

 

[Big Boss]

So they got Warren G huh

 

[King Static X]

Andra Day and Rihanna should act in a movie together as sisters. They look so much alike and are relatively close in age.

 

[jshani]

Lauren Hill will show up tomorrow night to do the Roberta Flack tribute

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

and you had people here like "why the performances so short?"


BET went all out tonight ngl

They shortened the good performers and have waaaaay too many ehhh performers that they could’ve excluded or shortened.

Just like right now the show has dragged ever since Teyona Taylor and Carti’s performances.

The pacing is terrible with two more Lifetime Achievement Awards to give 30 minutes until midnight on the East Coast

Should have pulled a Mary and did her own tribute.

they just packed a lot and didn't realize how much time it was gonna take. Like I said, that 106 & Park tribute was basically the first hour when it shoulda had its own standalone special.

 

[Mike18jj]

If Mariah can show up to the BET Awards then Beyoncé & Jay Z can

True, but Jay and Bey has since went to it more recently then Drake, Rihanna, and I think even Nicki

 

[jshani]

They couldve pushed the Snoop tribute to the Hip Hop awards

BET always fails with their pre-production and pacing. It’s never been organized since maybe the 3rd one

 

[Killmongerplaycousin]

This is about to be a damn near 4 hour show
They need to send this shyt to Atlanta next year
or send it outback

 

[King Static X]

True, but Jay and Bey has since went to it more recently then Drake, Rihanna, and I think even Nicki

Those others should show up too.

 

[Trav]

How many icon awards can someone do in 1 night?

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

Yeeeeeeah BET reminding people why the BET Awards fell off so bad. This should’ve ended after Jamie speech
