She also made Oscar history in 2018 as the first double nominee in the best supporting actress and best song categories for her work on Mudbound.
Blige will join past BET lifetime achievement honorees such as Anita Baker, New Edition, Charlie Wilson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross and James Brown.
As previously reported, the first wave of performers for the 19th annual BET Awards -- hosted by Regina Hall -- includes Cardi B, DJ Khaled, Migos, H.E.R., Lil Nas X with Billy Ray Cyrus, Lizzo, Mustard, Lil Baby, Yung Miami of City Girls, Lucky Daye and Kiana Ledé.
Also announced as presenters: Taraji P. Henson, Lena Waithe, Morris Chestnut, Yara Shahidi, and Marsai Martin.
yes queen
If they were smart....Keyshia, K. Michelle, and Mon would do the tribute. But I already BET ain't smart enough. They just need to let Mary do her own tribute.

Fanny, Jazzy Sullivan and Ledisi too.
Jazzy loves Mary and they have worked with each other many times so I think that will happen.

Whomever said K. Michelle and Keyshia, NO. Yeah, Mary is their influence, but no.
Ugh this woman's catalogue >>>
lowkey Mary needs a whole tribute show, like UNCF used to do for Aretha, Pattie etc
Keyshia and Kim would give that raw, off-key soul that Mary is known for
Im here For Keyshia doing a mashup of Heaven Sent/ My Everything
K Michelle I'm Going Down

can u please attempt to climb into this damn decade hun
we're literally on the last year of it
; :wub: :wub: :wub:
I'm so happy for my fav!!!! It'll be interesting to see who's chosen to perform. It's sooooooooooo difficult to perform a MJB song because the key ingredients are soul, grit, and passion all mixed with authenticity. There's a reason why this woman is still around AND very much relevant today...there has never been and will never be another artist with that recipe and staying power. Before Mary all we had were the likes of the polished artists such as Whitney and Mariah. Mary created a lane for sooooooooooooooooooooo many of your favs that followed. It's freaking amazing how influential she has been and the priceless catalog of classics.
Congratulations, Mary!!!!
I know it's not but it feels too early.
Mary still feels current too current to me to be receiving tributes

The way we are losing our legendary artists I think the timing is perfect. Give them flowers while they can still smell them.
Also, the fact that she is still current further prove why this is the year. Honestly, there are not too many artists that can touch her legendary catalog. JESUS!
I hope her she performs with the artist. I can't see her not performing, she still sings down and puts on an amazing show!
And mons kinda slayed her here :justabit:
Love No Limit
Or
Love No Limit remix
