To say Queen Latifah is on a role this year is a understatement!
Each year “The BET Honors” pay homage to distinguished African Americans performing at exceptional levels in their fields during Black History Month. This year Queen Latifah will be honored for her work in Media as a musician, television and film actress, label president, author and entrepreneur.
In addition to paving the way for female hip hop artists, Queen Latifah became the first hip hop artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has received rave reviews, an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe nomination and a SAG Award nomination for her portrayal as Mama Morton in Miramax’s Chicago. Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, India. Arie, Patti LaBelle, ELEW and others will pay tribute to these phenomenal stars with riveting performances.
“The BET Honors” which will honor legendary songstress Whitney Houston (Entertainment), respected business mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs (Entrepreneur), accomplished educator Ruth Simmons (Education), and world renowned neurosurgeon Keith Black (Public Service) will be taped on Saturday, January 16 at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., and will air Monday, February 1 at 8:00 p.m. on BET.
