Beyoncé surprised Victoria Monét and Teyana Taylor by expressing her admiration for their Usher homage at the 2024 BET Awards.
Reposting videos of Taylor and Monét singing Usher’s “Bad Girl” on Instagram Stories, Queen B paid homage to the R&B icon for an extended period of time. Other tributees included Keke Palmer, Latto, and Childish Gambino.
After seeing Beyoncé’s post, Taylor, a former member of G.O.O.D. Music, expressed shock and delight at the shout-out.
She reposted Bey’s post and added, “& DATS ON QUEEN BEYYYYYYYYYYY,” before continuing, “I’M GAGGGGGGINGGGGGGG!!! @victoriamonet get in here neowwwwww!!!”
Upon discovering Bey’s message, Monét herself remarked, “OOOOH MY GOD!!!!” No, I’m screaming! WHOA! NOT ABLE TO BREATHE I AM UNWELL HOLY SHIT. I didn’t think I would faint today! Gave up all the way.
“@beyonce, you are loved!” THE FIRST EVER BAD GYAL! I shall always hold you in high regard. @Teyana Taylor WTFFFFF PINCH ME.
Usher received an homage after receiving the BET Lifetime Achievement Award.
But because of his repeated swearing, the network censored a significant amount of his 13-minute victory speech, sparking criticism.
Usher expressed regret for his foul language throughout his address, adding, “I’m sorry I’m cursing, I just want to tell you all how I really feel.”
The legendary singer also discussed overcoming hardship, saying, “There were times when motherfuckers weren’t messing with me.” However, I realize that sometimes you have to go through a difficult situation in order to achieve something.
“Nobody [was] saying, ‘You’re alright, this is what you do, you’re going to like girls, you’re going to go through shit,'” he continued.
Later, BET said it was sorry for blocking the speech and attributed it to technical issues.
Parts of his address were unintentionally muted during the LIVE transmission due to an audio problem, the network reported.
It was an honor to have Usher accept his award with a moving speech and to celebrate the worldwide legend on our stage with a star-studded tribute.
“We would want to apologize to Usher from the bottom of our hearts for his involvement in Culture’s Biggest Night.
