Beyoncé Shows Love to Teyana Taylor and Victoria Monét for Usher Tribute at 2024 BET Awards

Beyoncé’s Surprise Shout-Out Leaves Teyana Taylor and Victoria Monét Speechless at 2024 BET Awards

The 2024 BET Awards were filled with unforgettable moments, but one that stood out was Beyoncé showing love to Teyana Taylor and Victoria Monét for their tribute to Usher. The two singers performed Usher’s hit “Bad Girl” as part of a star-studded tribute to the R&B legend, which also featured performances by Latto, Childish Gambino, and Keke Palmer.

After Queen B reposted clips of Taylor and Monét’s performance on her Instagram Stories, both singers were left in disbelief and excitement. Taylor took to social media to express her shock, writing, “& DATS ON QUEEN BEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I’M GAGGGGGGINGGGGGG!!! @victoriamonet get in here neowwwwww!!!”

Monét, upon seeing Beyoncé’s post, commented, “OOOOH MY GOD!!!! Na I AM SCREAMING!! WHATTT!!! CAN NOT GRASP AIR I AM UNWELL HOLY SHIT. I did not expect to pass out today! Gagged… completely. @beyonce we love you!!!!! THE ORIGINAL BAD GYAL!!! I will honor you forever. @teyanataylor WTFFFFF PINCH ME.”

The tribute to Usher was particularly special as he was presented with BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award. However, controversy arose when the network censored large portions of his acceptance speech due to his frequent cursing. Usher apologized for his language during the speech, expressing his gratitude for the honor and reflecting on overcoming adversity.

BET later issued an apology for the censorship, attributing it to technical difficulties and expressing their gratitude for Usher’s participation in the event. The unexpected shout-out from Beyoncé added an extra layer of excitement to an already memorable night at the BET Awards.
