00:0025 years of the BET Awards, what does that moment mean to you?
00:04Oh, that's legacy.
00:05Being able to see myself through other people's lenses, but from my culture, on our stage, 25 years.
00:14I was at the dinner the other night, and BET's been around for 45 years.
00:19But the award show's been around for 25.
00:21Look, we need more of us telling more of our stories.
00:26We sure do.
00:2625 years.
00:27We need you to tell some more, too.
00:28I'll tell some more.
00:29You got some new music coming out?
00:30Yeah.
00:31I got a second collection, too.
00:33Fake tears from a pop star.
00:35Later this year.
00:36Okay.
00:37I'm working on a show.

00:43A dramedy or a comedy?
00:44What we got?

01:02But there will be people.
01:03There will be people.
01:03We got it.
01:05Yeah.
01:06We are also honoring Mariah Carey tonight with the Ultimate Icon Award.
01:09What's your favorite Mariah song of all time?
01:11That's hard.
01:13Because I was old enough to really watch when E Equals MC Square came out.
01:18Oh, the Einstein album.
01:20Come on.
01:21So I was old enough to go, oh, I like that.
01:24It's like that.
01:25But everything else I inherited, because it was kind of before my time.
01:28Yeah.
01:29So I think it's E.
01:30E Equals MC Square.
01:31I love that.
01:32That's a great answer.
