Taraji P. Henson to host 2021 BET Awards live event

Fans’ favourite Taraji P. Henson is about to add yet another feather to her cap as she is set to host the 2021 BET Awards. The Oscar-nominated actor, who is famed for her role as Cookie Lyon in Fox Studio’s Empire, has been tapped for the job. 

The BET Awards makes its return as a live event after having been done virtually last year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

In a press release, Taraji said: “For more than 20 years, the BET Awards have been a celebration of Black creativity, art and excellence… Returning live, this year’s show will be unlike anything we have ever seen before, and I am [honoured] to be sharing the stage with so many powerful and prolific women in music and entertainment. The BET Awards will once again be at the forefront of Black culture.”

This year’s BET Awards looks to celebrate women and their impact in the propagation of black entertainment. In the EVP Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET, Connie Orlando remarked: “Black women have been essential drivers of change throughout history, from the political sphere to the cultural zeitgeist.”

“The BET Awards is the ultimate celebration of Black culture, and we are looking forward to spotlighting and celebrating Black women during this year’s show, recognizing them for everything they’ve accomplished and applauding them for what’s to come,” she concluded.

Among the many black women to be honoured in this year’s event is 51-year-old Grammy winner Dana Owens, popularly known as Queen Latifah. She will be receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The event promises to be a banger, and fans can’t wait to witness all the black awesomeness it promises. For further reading, see Missandei says nudity in Game Of Thrones created wrong impression.
