00:00Hello, Miss Maya. Oh my gosh, you are so beautiful.
00:03All right, so I'm here with Billboard at the 2025 BET Awards with the icon legend.
00:08Maya, how are you doing tonight?
00:09I'm wonderful. How are you?
00:10I'm doing great.
00:11So is there anything that you can tease that we can expect from your 106 and Park tribute this evening?
00:15It's just pure nostalgia, so enjoy, you know, a trip down memory lane.
00:19That's what I will say.
00:20Ooh, I'm excited. Take me there. I want to go there.
00:23Okay.
00:24You just released a single. Do you have another single coming out as well?
00:27Yes, Face to Face is out right now, but at midnight tonight, June 9th or slash June 10th,
00:33Give It To You, which is the first official single from my 10th studio album, is coming out tonight.
00:38And it's all summer fun, funky, 80s vibes.
00:42If you love to roller skate, barbecue, cookout, block parties, all of that.
00:45We're setting off the summer with some heat.
00:47Oh, we are ready. Snoop Dogg is being honored tonight.
00:50What's your favorite Snoop song of all time?
00:52Oh my gosh, I mean, Gin and Juice, that's a classic.
00:55There's so many, though. Snoop has a catalog.
00:58After you, ma'am.
00:59Years, decades.
01:00Yes, yes, yeah.
01:02We are also celebrating 25 years of the BET Awards today.
01:05What's your favorite BET Awards memory of all time?

01:11Oh, that's so hard.
01:14You guys are testing me today.
01:15You've got to go to the archives, girl.
01:17Oh, I really do, and there's too many.
01:19There's like, what, 25 years now.

01:37My love is like, whoa?
01:38I'm sure.
01:38I have, I literally said before you walked over, I literally remember.
01:41That's my earliest memory of that.
01:43Yeah, you performing, my love, is like, whoa.
01:45What year it started?
01:46It had to be 2000 if we're celebrating the 25th anniversary.
01:50But yeah, 106 and Park was lit.
01:52Shout out to Free and AJ, my era.
01:54And then I came back later, 2006 or 2007, and hosted with Bow Wow.
01:59Yes.
02:00Who's I can't wait?
