June 26, 2023.&nbsp;<\/strong>The stars aligned this weekend as the biggest names in culture gathered for the annual BET Awards.

Our ability to extract emotion from performers, helping them to articulate their voices and vision to the world, is irreplaceable. The protection of the writer is crucial.

Her words echoed deeply in the Microsoft Theater, where the Award show with no host was held.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grammy-award-winning singer was also on hand in a sexy red leather&nbsp;<strong>Cavanagh Baker<\/strong>&nbsp;number to help celebrate&nbsp;<strong>Busta Rhymes<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Chloe<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Halle Bailey<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>MC Lyte<\/strong>, and more at the 7th annual&nbsp;<strong>Culture Creator Awards<\/strong>, where she presented&nbsp;<strong>Flau\u2019Jae Johnson<\/strong>with the Culture Creators Award in Sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sultry songstress who recently released the highly anticipated remix of her hit song \u201cHrs &#038; Hrs\u201d featuring\u00a0Usher\u00a0shimmered in a\u00a0Elisabetta Franchi\u00a0 sequin crop top with a matching skirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":234478057,"featured_media":597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1363,1360],"tags":[1458,1456,1432,1460,1461,1374,1409,1457],"class_list":["post-596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebs","category-features","tag-betawards","tag-curlyhair","tag-fashion","tag-femaleartist","tag-fshion","tag-haircare","tag-hairstyles","tag-munilong"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hypehair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pasted-image-0.png?fit=1450%2C2016&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/peLzWz-9C","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/234478057"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":631,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596\/revisions\/631"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypehair.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
