Usher stole the spotlight, receiving the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his 30-year impact on the music world. Launching his career at just 14 with LaFace Records, Usher has become a defining voice in R&B.

His wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, looked on proudly as stars like Childish Gambino, Keke Palmer, and Summer Walker paid tribute.
Teyana Taylor and Victoria Monet delivered one of the evening’s most memorable performances, showcasing their vocal and dance talents. Monet, who took home awards for ‘Best Music Video’ and ‘BET Her,’ turned heads in a dramatic black leather gown by Samuel Lewis.
Chlöe Bailey captivated in a black sequined Monot gown with a daring bust cutout, embodying her bold style. Fashionable duos also made waves—Duane Martin and Ashley Jones coordinated in seafoam green Fendi and Norma Kamali, while Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts stunned in cobalt blue. Tyrese Gibson and Zelie Timothy made a statement with Timothy’s pink Di Petsa dress.
