What you need to know during the 2017 Bet Awards
There are a
few things the cameras didn't see (winks)...
While Beyoncé
was honored with five wins and New Edition had fans traveling back in time with
a medley of their hits, there were a few moments that slipped by Sunday night's
broadcast of the 2017 BET Awards. Hosted by SNL funny lady Leslie Jones, the
show was packed with high-energy performances, big wins and hours of
entertainment—for fans watching at home and the stars in their seats.
From a few
technical glitches to squeezing in selfies, here are a few things you missed if
you didn't have a ticket to the weekend's hottest show.
1. Celebrity
Catch-Up
In between
wins and performances, the stars themselves used Sunday night's affair as
convenient time to chat. From DJ Khaled and Chance the Rapper to Jamie Foxx and
French Montana, plenty of famous faces were spotted mingling when they got the
chance during commercial breaks.
2. A Free
Show
The stars
are as much fans as they are famous. During the show, Amber Rose was one of the
first to pop up out of her seat during French Montana's set while Chance the
Rapper stood up to give SZA a round of applause at the end of her song.
3. Blushing
Amber Rose
While Jones
poked fun at the star's nude photo on social media, an eyewitness tells E! News
Rose sunk into her seat at first, but soon laughed it off. As for the audience,
the crowd found the jokes hilarious.
4. Leslie
Saves the Day
Since they
ran into a technical snag before SZA's second set, the host came out to the
side of the stage to buy some time with a few jokes, one of which was aimed at
Floyd Mayweather.
"Hey
Mayweather, you got my cash? You owe me $10,000 for that T-shirt," she
quipped.
