And now Snoop is going gospel. I'm happy he found peace and love out of chaos. No joke. But seriously, aren't there like six more awards to give out?

I'm majorly into this Snoop Dogg performance. Because I'm old and remember when all these songs first came out.

Everyone is making a mad dash out of the show, skipping out the final performance.  Pretty sure the camera won't pan to our empty section.

Janelle Monae’s “Dirty Computer” is my jam and she's bringing pageantry and professionalism to this award show ... that oddly has stopped giving out awards for a moment.

There are only less than 30 minutes left in the show. I'm trying to ignore my growling stomach and focus on Ella Mae's melodic harmonies. It's hard. Really want In and Out Burger right now.

The guy shouting Rock the Bells through this Debra Lee tribute just because LL Cool J is on the stage is driving me bonkers. But congrats and all the best to Debra who is leaving BET after 32 years.

Well, the last 10 minutes took quite a turn to the woke with real life heroes to Meek Mill being introduced by Philly’s finest.

I always am impressed by Jamie Foxx’s singing voice. He was an unlikely choice for an Anita Baker tribute, but a great one.

Bobby Brown bowed to the folks in the orchestra pit after they played the trailer to the Bobby Brown Story on BET because they were singing "Every Little Step" into the break.

I have so much secondary embarrassment for the return of Wanda the Ugly Girl. So much.

Jamie Foxx has complained repeatedly about the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd. He’s cursed at the crowd, spit jokes, nothing makes a difference. I just wish folks would take their seats and stay in them.

Our row, JJ in the orchestra section, seems pretty popular since literally every break people keep getting up and walking all over us. Fun times.

Nicki Minaj literally did the most. I’m not even sure what I watched, but I was entertained. And her part on “Big Bank” features her humping a sparkly pink horse with dancing jockeys.  Very Nicki.

I can’t get over Jamie Foxx in these pajamas and underpants talking about beefs, before introducing Nicki Minaj.

Jason Mitchell on BET’s stage, “911 is for emergencies not your insecurities.” Just a PSA for all the cop callers of late.

The awards show seems a little disjointed this year. Did Jamie Foxx fall out with the writers or something?

Yesha doesn't know any Miguel songs but I know all these so I'm loving it.

Jamie Foxx is saying all the curse words right now as he gives props to Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, for his song “This is America.”

Tiffany Haddish just won Best Actress and gave the most adorable taped speech. She's winning and I hope she keeps winning. 

Tyra Banks? All right. Come through jumpsuit!
