Are you willing to forgive Will smith yet ?
Will Smith stood in a circle of fire — joined by Fridayy and the gospel choir Sunday Service — to make the live debut of his latest single, “You Can Make It," at the 2024 BET Awards.
“I don’t know who needs this right now,” Smith opened his set. “But I am here to tell you, you can make it.”
Midway through, Kirk Franklin joined, and then two rapped together. “Nobody gets an easy ride,” Smith, who is in the midst of his comeback from slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars two years ago, told the room.
There is wisdom in that fire. Dance in your darkest moments.”
Megan Thee Stallion opened the show by emerging from an egg — a metaphor for her a new musical rebirth — before diving into with an energetic medley of her new singles “Hiss" and “Boa.”
“BET, Where my girls at?" she said, shouting out Victoria Monét and Coco Jones in the crowd before launching into “Where Them Girls At” — a track that's been an immediate fan favorite since Friday's release of her third studio album, “Megan.”
The show, airing live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, is being hosted by Oscar-nominated actor Taraji P. Henson for a third time. Her opening monologue was a performance, Henson rapping “It's about us,” in a loose parody of Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us.” The diss track became Lamar’s fourth No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 this year — and was released in the midst of his recently reignited, once-dormant feud with Drake.
“No beef in here tonight,” she joked, “Can we say plant-based?”
The first award of the night, best international act, was presented by actor Colman Domingo. It was given to Tyla, the Johannesburg , South African amapiano superstar.
“This is very heavy, guys,” she joked about the weight of the award. “Thank you to BET for always pushing the culture.”
Monét, who earlier this year won the Grammy for best new artist, made her BET debut with “On My Mama.” She wore a letterman jacket that matches her backup dancers — who soon exited the stage and cut the track sort. Monét walked to the back of the stage, revealing a white blazer, signaling a shift. Canadian producer and rapper Kaytranada appeared.
Moments later, Monét returned to the stage wearing a white suit, performing her latest single, “Alright” — and then did another costume change mid-song, revealing a two-piece set and performing in front of a rain stage. It was a full set in a few minutes — setting the bar for all to follow
