The Hip Hop legend will be honored at the 2021 BET Awards on June 27.
On the music side, she has sold more than two million records across her seven studio albums, carried by the strength of her gold-selling Black Reign record in 1993. Songs like “U.N.I.T.Y.” capture Latifah’s magnetic presence behind the mic, and while her music career seems to have been put on hold in favor of her acting efforts, she’s among some of the first Black entertainers to prove that their entertainment ability spans across different mediums.
And Latifah has been recognized as such throughout her career, winning a Grammy award for “U.N.I.T.Y.,” an Emmy award for her HBO film Bessie, a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for her role in Life Support, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, along with countless other honors. The BET Lifetime Achievement award only adds to Latifah’s impressive and long-form resume of accomplishments within the entertainment industry.
