Hey guys! Did you see the BET Awards tonight? It was fabulous! Two special things that happened tonight was watching R&B group, New Edition earn the Lifetime Achievement award and also, Chance the Rapper accepting a Humanitarian award for his music talent and immerse contribution to the development of his Community in Chicago.

Tonight we saw The New Edition being decorated with all the R&B love! All six members of the group - Ralph Trevon, Bobby Brown, Ronnie Devoe, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins including Johnny Gill who later joined the group in 1987- perform together. The group had many hit songs but Candy girl and Cool It Down will forever be the most memorable and the best of all the hit tracks.

Chance the Rapper on the hand, has millions of fans and on of those fans happens to be the former First Lady of The United States, Michelle Obama who paid Tribute to the 24-year-old rapper via a taped message. This Dude has been a blessing to not only his family but to everyone around him. He is an inspiration to all the young men out there who are struggling to become something with the little they have. Chance recently raised $2 million for Chicago Public Schools. Like who is this guy that is already doing stuff that could take years for top artist to respond to?
At tonight's event, the Chicago born rapper was accopanied by his mother who was overjoyed to see the world honor her humble son for all his hardwork. She obviously raised a good son!

Chance is also the youngest recipient to receive BET Humanitarian Award.
Other exciting parts of the show was when Chris Brown burned the house down with his songs and dance moves. It was almost like Michael Jackon was in 'da building'.
Dj Khaled, Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne and Quavo got to performe I'm The One from DJ Khaled's new album Grateful which he said is available in Stores right now. The best summer song at the moment! Sadly, Justin Bieber was not there to perform the song with them. That would have been nice. We all love Bieber.
Enjoy I'm The One
