They had 2 minutes and 38 seconds to give a performance of a lifetime. The show had returned from break, and the mics were ON. We were blessed with the final performance from two icons that will live in #BETAwards history! The Fire. The Desire. The Soprano, Teena Marie….🗣️🗣️ And for the girl backstage that wanted to know who he was: The legendary Rick James B****! Let’s wish the realest one Rick James a very Happy Birthday! 🎈 #RickJames #HappyBirthday #BET #BlackCulture #WhereBlackCultureLives #BlackHistoryMonth #NAACPImageAwards
