BET has announced that they will present a special tribute to Prince at their upcoming awards show.
According to Rolling Stone, The Roots, Janelle Monae, D'Angelo, and Sheila E will all take part in the special tribute to Prince, who tragically passed away last April.
BET announced news of the tribute performance today, June 7th, which was also Prince's birthday.
BET earlier mocked the Billboard Music Award's tribute to Prince, which featured performances by Madonna and Stevie Wonder, in a since deleted tweet from their official Twitter account. “Yeah, we saw that. Don't worry. We Got You,” the tweet said. The Roots' Questlove later defended the Billboard tribute.
