The BET Awards 2019 was filled with special performances that we will never forget. Hosted by actress Regina Hall who brought us back to her Candy days when she put on a tease for Julian in the black dramedy "The Best Man". During her performance she brought out Sugar Bear of EU who sang his popular hit  "Da Butt". Taraji P. Henson who honored Tyler Perry with his award also joined Regina on stage doing the popular dance.

Rapper Offset opened the show with "Clout" featuring his boo and rapstress Cardi B who put on a lapdance for her man and her fans. The Migos and DJ Mustard also killed the stage with "Pure Water". Mary J. Blige was honored with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award. Following her acceptance speech she put on an iconic performance that we will never forget.


Mary J. Blige performed some of her most greatest hits including "No More Drama", "I'm Going Down" and "I'm Fine". Lil Kim graced the stage looking stunning as ever joined Mary in the classic hit "I Can Love You" and then came Method Man joining her in the duet "You're All I Need". Although the queen of hip hop appeared to be a little tired and could barely move in those thigh high boots she still gave a great performance like she always does.

Along with Mary the unforgettable Fantasia also performed her latest single "Enough" from her latest album. Before Mary put on a show singer H.E.R the voice of the new generation put on a powerful performance with a inspirational spoken word before she delivered her vocals to "The Lord Is Coming".
