Despite the grueling schedule of the WNBA season, Angel Reese found a way to catch Sunday’s BET Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It is an awards show that aims to celebrate the success of black entertainers and personalities in music, sports, film, and philanthropy.
In a post on X, Reese expressed her amazement at the event’s moving tribute for Usher—who received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to music. The 45-year-old singer also won the Best Male R&B Artist award.
THE USHER TRIBUTE IS SOO GOOD. EVERYBODY IS EATINGGGG

The tribute for him made headlines as it featured some of his biggest hits, including “U Don’t Have to Call,” “There Goes My Baby,” “Good Good,” and “Nice & Slow.”
These songs were performed by none other than Jennifer Hudson, Summer Walker, Tinashe, Teyana Taylor, Chloe, Keke Palmer, Victoria Monet, and Childish Gambino.
The R&B icon had a memorable speech upon accepting his award, in which he expressed his love of music and the industry as a whole.
“Getting here has definitely not been easy, but it has been worth it,” Usher said. “This Life(time) Achievement Award, I don’t know man, is it too early for me to receive it? Because I’m still running and gunning, and I still love this (work) like I did when I was 8 years old.”
