Introduction
The Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards 2018 is the event I attended last. The
BET awards is a celebration of the blacks in their achievements in music, entertainment, and
movies. The BET 2018 touched down at Los Angeles at Microsoft Theatre on Sunday, June
24th. The event was full of dynamic performances prepared for those in attendance. The
performances ranged from Meek Mill, Janelle Monae's ‘melanated' performance and J Coles
messages (Coleman, 2018). The event was full of soulful singing, recognition of people who
have been phenomenal above and beyond and a lot of entertainment.
The award show was opened by Jamie Fox who began the show by telling his audience
he was not hosting the cable network show. He said he was there to celebrate. Jamie Fox hosted
the event like his life depended on it. During the three-hour broadcast, Jamie Foxx showed so
much passion and energy. His hosting style was comical where his storyline was the black
panther movement, and how he celebrated them. The highlight of the Show is when he brought
onstage Donald Clover, alias, Childish Gambino for a performance (Eyewitness News, 2018).
No one expected his appearance, and it happened as a surprise to many attendees. People
questioned Foxx’s performance because of the accusations laid against him. However, he made
the show worth sitting through and watching. Some of the award winners were Cardi B, Bruni
Mars, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake.
This year's event, unlike the rest of the years, did not have the biggest Rap and Blues
stars in attendance; Jay-z, Beyonce, Cardi B, and Drake. Regardless, the show was full of energy
and entertainment. The organizers knew that without the biggest stars a shot of adrenaline could
have been achieved by a Foxx's hosting, character and energy on stage to keep fans entertained.
There were several performances and the highlight of the night was a rendition by guys who
