00:12Ooh, we are stressed out.
00:13We're blessed out.
00:14We're blessed out.
00:14Come on, man.
00:15I'm not stressed out.
00:16Let's go.
00:16So we are celebrating 25 years of BET, the BET Awards.
00:20What does that mean to you, being such an impactful artist of this industry, of BET, of everything?
00:26Oh, my gosh.
00:27It's significant.
00:27It's so big for the culture.
00:29You know, this platform has been so necessary for us.
00:34There's just so much soul, so much sauce, so much goodness to cover.
00:37We need our own platform and our own network.
00:40We sure do.
00:40You know, so for me, it's been significant to have BET as a supporter over the years because some of my biggest moments happened right here.
00:48Yes.
00:49You know, and so, yeah, it's significant for so many reasons.
00:52That's beautiful.
00:53You just dropped Ecstasy.
00:55Yes, the remix.
00:56With Normani and Tiana Taylor.
00:57Hey, rodeo that thing.
00:59Hey.
00:59On top of your body.
01:01Hey.
01:01Turn around and speed up.
01:03Okay.
01:03Scoop, scoop.
01:03Like a Bugatti.
01:04Hey.
01:05Oh, my gosh.
01:06I'm obsessed.
01:06The girls ate on their dresses.
01:08Yes.
01:08And so did you, girl.
01:10Oh, thank you.
01:10So did you.
01:11Thank you so much.
01:12Mariah Carey's been honored this evening.
01:14What is your favorite Mariah Carey song of all time?
01:15Oh, my gosh.
01:16That girl has so many hints.
01:17There's so many.
01:18I love her remix for Honey with Old Dirty Bastard.
01:23Yes.
01:24That right there, by far, is one of the most timeless records.
01:28That is special.
01:29And you just received the Avant-Garde Award at the Black Women in Music.
01:34What did that mean to you?
01:35That was really sweet.
01:36Yeah.
01:36I got to shout out Connie Orlando.
01:39She was having a special night for her Connie Orlando Foundation, and her focus was supporting
01:43breast cancer.
01:44So I love that that night was significant for so many reasons.
01:49And to be up there with so many other amazing women, like Felicia Font, who's been a powerhouse
01:56in the business, Sylvia Rhone, another powerhouse, June Ambrose, who's one of, I mean, all these
02:03ladies, I've seen them for years coming up.
02:05And to see them up there getting their shine on was also cool, too.
02:10And there were some other amazing girls that got honored that night, too.
02:13Just a lot of girl power.
02:14Yes.
02:15We love that.
02:15So that was a blessing.
02:16Love that.
02:17We love that.
02:18Always a great time looking up with you, Ceci.
02:19Have a great time in there tonight.
02:21We love you so much.
02:22We love you.
02:23You're amazing, truly.
02:24Take it easy.
02:25Bye-bye.
02:26Bye-bye.
