00:00All right, we are here at the 2025 BET Awards Red Carpet with Jarrell, Jerome, how are you doing, man?
00:05I'm amazing today. I'm a little hot, but other than that...
00:08A little hot.
00:09Yeah, get the sweat off.
00:10Yeah, once this is gone, I feel great.
00:11Shining bright like the diamond you are, that's all.
00:13Thank you very much. I haven't been to the BET Awards, so...
00:16It's your first time!
00:17It's my first time.
00:18How is it your first time, man?
00:19I don't know, that's a good question. I gotta go talk to somebody.
00:21Right!
00:22Sure, for sure.
00:23Emmy-winning actor right here, talking about your first time.
00:25Yeah, I mean, I've been around the spaces and I've shown a lot of love, for sure,
00:29but the actual event on the carpet and seeing all these cool people, my first time.
00:32So, very different from the Emmys, I'll tell you that.
00:34Absolutely.
00:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36Can you call on your favorite BET Awards moment of all time?
00:40Oh, probably not.
00:43Probably not.
00:44Okay, what about when you were young?
00:46How about when Bow Wow came on stage? Was that the BET Awards?
00:48I believe that was the BET Awards.
00:49Yeah, it was entourage me.
00:50Yes, yes.
00:51That was my vision board. That was my vision board when I was young.
00:55I think Bow Wow is taking to the stage again tonight for the 106 in Park Trivia.
00:58Yeah, I heard. I'm excited. I've been a big fan my whole life.
01:00Yeah, Mariah Carey is also being nominated or getting the Icon Award tonight.
01:05What is your favorite Mariah Carey song?
01:09This is why I don't come to the BET Awards.
01:11I don't got good answers.
01:12Who want you to sing?
01:14I don't know. I don't know.
01:16Her best, the one that's in my head, but I can't always be my baby.
01:24That's my thing. That's my thing.
01:26Now, speaking of music, I heard that you have some on the way, but can you tell us about your music?
01:30Yeah, absolutely. I love music. I love rap.
01:33It came with the territory. I'm from the Bronx, so growing up, it was like, what you got?
01:37No, I just do it for me. I just love doing it.
01:40I am with the label. I can't say much.
01:43Yeah, I can't say much, but I am with the label, and I have an album coming, and it's really one of those projects.
01:48It's a passion project for me, you know, and people who support me and respect my craft hopefully get a glimpse of it and appreciate it, you know?
01:54That's beautiful. We're going to manifest you being here after that comes out.
01:58Nominate for your music, too.
01:59Like this time next year.
02:00This time next year.
02:01Let's manifest it.
02:02All right.
02:02All right.
02:03You're already here first.
02:04Thank you. Have so much fun.
