While the award ceremony recognized some of the most acclaimed names in the music, film, and sports industry, an act had the whole event cheering and clapping with excitement, laughter, and amazement. 

From the moment Taraji P. Henson took the stage, it was all laughing out loud for the audience. The Karate Kid actress was seen wearing a red hoodie, paired up with light blue jeans and sneakers. This happens to be a similar kind of outfit that Kendrick Lamar wore during his recent Inglewood, California, set of The Pop Out - Ken & Friends. 

The concert was held on June 19. Later, during her time on the stage of the BET Awards 2024, the renowned actress took a dig at Hollywood for unequal pay, which happens to be a topic of worry amongst a lot of female actors. She delivered this through a lyrical jab.

She also rapped her way, speaking about her life in the movie industry, complaining about scripts, and more. Traji was seen rapping the line, "Sometimes you gotta pop out and show numbers."
