Usher had some “Confessions” to make at the 2024 BET Awards, but they were of the heartwarming kind. The R&B icon was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony on Sunday night.
“Getting here has definitely not been easy, but it has been worth it,” Usher said during his acceptance speech. “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.”
The evening was a celebration of Usher’s illustrious career, marked by a tribute performance that showcased his impressive catalog of soulful pop hits. The performance included a medley of his greatest hits, from “Yeah!” to “Confessions,” and featured dazzling choreography and vocal prowess, reminding everyone why Usher is a staple in the music industry.
The recognition comes after decades of Usher’s contributions to music, where he has not only delivered chart-topping singles but has also influenced many artists with his unique style and dedication to his craft.
As the audience cheered and celebrated his achievements, Usher’s heartfelt words and the vibrant tribute performance solidified his legacy as one of the greatest R&B artists of all time.
