Your right but I didn’t nor agree when he said his mother is his mother and a father. A woman or mother can never be a father and vice versa because we don’t have the ability to do that we are who we are in and who God has created us to be my mother raised me, but she can never be a man and do my father does.
@@stephanieblancas2149 I hear you but a woman can never be a man and a man can never be a woman not alone a mother being a father and a father can’t be a mother this why a parent’s balance out a child, if it was ok why would there be a the need of a father?
Forgiveness is not letting the one who hurt you off the hook, forgiveness allows you not to be tied or bound to the disfunction of who hurt you. Well said, Usher. Congratulations.
Yes my daughter learned how to forgive her father. Im so proud of her. I didn’t raise her to hate him. Although It took years for me to get to that point. Unfortunately he took his own life recently w/o forming a bond with his children
No, wonder they went overtime. The BET awards was scheduled to finish at 10:30 PM. It did not finish until about 11:00 PM. That is central time. In eastern time it was midnight.
All women stop pushing us away ,we don't want you no mo we love our children, I've never met a man that didn't love his jits , this t.v got chall fkd up
@@tmakalit1789 Cap. A man should take care of his kids no matter what your relationship is with the mother. Nobody can legally keep a child from their parent unless there's a good reason. You're making excuses.
@@tmakalit1789That might be true by your definition and most men's definition of love. Love is an action and if a father loved his child(ren) NOTHING would keep him away from his child(ren) 💯.
My Dad played the hell out of Confessions cd on a 12 hour Journey to down south. He really liked Usher. God bless you Usher. And God Speed Dad. July 16 1944 - June 26 2024....❤
As a big supporter of BET and black music, I was so disappointed that Usher's acceptance speech was muted off and on throughout. Many wanted to hear what Usher had to say.
I didn't have my father growing up. I had to take the father role and help my mom take care of my twin brother with Cerebral Palsy. He can't walk, talk, or see and has seizures with a feeding tube. I sacrificed most of my life for my twin. Most of my life I hated my father but during my later years in life, I had to find the forgiveness in my heart for my father. We talk periodically talk and we great conversations about life and love and forgiveness. May God bless everyone in the world because we're all going through hardships no matter what they are!! Usher's speech touched a lot of people that can relate.🙌🏽✨🙏🏽✨🙌🏽💯
BET should have never silenced this out like it was, the night it aired. He spoke from truth, passion, gratitude, and with raw emotion. He spoke like a true Man, a King. A man who acknowledges his triumphs, failures, and points of pain. Someone who worked hard and grateful for their celebrity status, but also realizes what truly matters most…the family you come from and the one you create. Being a Black man of honor and intentionally present for your children. I’ve always like Usher as a talent, I now appreciate him as a human being. Great acceptance speech. The reruns need to play properly, so that it can be heard by all who watch.
Watching his speech is bringing tears to my eyes. He definitely deserves a lifetime achievement award and so much more. I have loved Usher since I was 11 years old. I am now 32 years old. He has and always will be my favorite artist. I was blessed enough to have parents that bought me tickets to his Confessions tour in NY when I was 12 or 13 years old. My room when I was in middle school was plastered with his posters and cutouts of magazines.
You are one special lady with great parents with supreme taste. You saw confessions age 12. Wow I'm impressed. God bless your parents they opened your ears to great music. How do find these New Age artists? As I call them.
*SO appreciative that you specified "GOOD". **_Far_** too many stand up when it's time to be applauded or celebrated, but don't stand up when it matters most.*
Usher did say maybe his father thought it was best to stay away. That was deep to have coped with it in that way. It wasn't that his father didn't want to be there, that he didn't love or care about him. Life got to the man... and not knowing how to be good enough for himself made him stay away. It made usher a serious father as the outcome. He will not leave his children, he will always support them. Then seeing his hard work is his way of saying " all this I do for you so you never wonder why or feel I wasn't there because I didn't love you".. he didn't make his children into a sign of burden or irresponsibility..his kids became his driving force and strength.
My son is going to through rejection from his biological father and God blessed my son with a amazing step dad. Thanks for sharing this with us Usher definitely deserves it and even more .Congratulations to him 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💗💗💗
I feel you ma. I went through that during my high school years and it was tough. But with prayer I forgave my father as well. God definitely sends fathers.
u spoke of your mom but shd hav said more..like thank u like u did to so many separately she was the man n father but her .. responsibility yet many deservedly thank u... u ackn knowkeged her but it was abt her as a mother but just thanx mom in frt if whole world she needed that..she know wht u mean but mean wht u say ..words.. your mother another angel got it all started like one u thanked gone... on stage too..your mom shd hav been there...up on stage to..close by...
I saw Usher from the very beginning of his career around 1994. I have witnessed what he has become & i must say he has GROWN! His soeech was encouraging & I have alot of respect for him.❤
It’s insane I remember seeing all the OG’s get their lifetime achievements awards from my parents generation now I’m seeing all the OG’s from my generation get theirs! For the record Usher is from Tennessee not Atlanta as a Tennesseean!
@@ShametricPowellhe was born in Dallas but spent the majority of his life in Chattanooga Tennessee that’s where he started singing he left to go to Atlanta for a better opportunity
This was one of the best speech ever! Usher really said meaningful powerful words, one that caught me is how his Dad was not there for him but yet he still manage to make it! Well deserved Usher.
God Bless Usher- Such A Grrreat Acceptance Speech. His Wife & His Mom Looks So Very Proud Of Him- You Can Truely See It In Their Smiles & They Both Are Absolutely Stunning. Congrats To Usher, He's Always Doing His Thing Soooo Amazingly ❤
Everyone has to know Usher was being unapologetic telling the truth from his heart he even called out his own son with love like a true parent. He acknowledged his father and gave a shout to hater and low key to Chill yea I fucked,but I failed but someone is praying with and for me.I approve this award ceremony speak messages.!
Was his father not in his life on purpose? Serious question. The only thing Usher said years ago was that his father died while receiving a liver transplant.
Well, nonetheless, good speech & all. He deserves his shine but don't think he should of blasted his pops out like that. And never know what happened really between his mom & pops. That kind of stuff should be private stuff. Exodus 20: 12
I love how he acknowledged everyone and give honor to who honor was due that takes a real man Lord I just love this young man God keep blessing him and take him and higher heights high places Lord
This goes to show we are all facing hurdles in life, some paths you walk on your own - others will be supported by near and dear people. What an incredible and inspiring artist: Usher
He deserved it straight up. Definitely a Living Legend!! USHERR!! Through the ups and downs you made it to the top big bro. Like he said: “Getting up there haven’t been easy, but it was worth it”. The GOAT!! 🐐👑💯💯✊🏾
Usher is THAT MAN.A definition of Coolness,Elegance,Class and self collected at the highest degree.The most solid Real G,very stable minded who avoids drama & confrontation.He is humble yet extremely successful,his wealth is beyond any man in this genre but he remains humble.He has gone beyond the limit and contributing to RnB, setting the highest standards for music, entertainment & showbiz.He is just too too Classy,
This was a very powerful speech. It was very much needed to be heard. I really thought that it was because of his cursing, but I see that was not the case. Every young person should have heard this. What he said was true, and anyone who has the potential can live their dreams. You just have to believe and work hard.
Usher has sold over 150 million albums and Records worldwide. He also has nine billboard hot 100 Number one song.(All are the most by any Male R&B/Pop Artist since Michael Jackson). Usher is tied with Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye with the most R&B and hip-hop Number one songs by any Male R&B artist. Usher has the most R&B song chart Number one songs. When you combine Real album and record sales, Live performance, dancing, Live singing ability, philanthropy, classic albums, Number one songs, overall impact and influence. Usher is no doubt the closest Male artist we've seen to Michael Jackson.
I think the great M👑🎖️J is very proud of usher, that was MJ real friend. I know usher kids ..his mother #1... is very proud of her son. Her eyes said "I love you son 🥹, I know I didn't make all the right choices but thank you for trusting me with what I knew how. Thank you for allowing me to keep you as close as I could until you found your own "usher way". Loving you thru the good/ tough/good times once again is a honor" 💞.. Usher Raymond 4th the icon. He earned his crown 👑💎✨❤️
Yesss Usher!! Beautifully spoken. I love that your steps towards peace with Tamika were a part of your speech. Great man, great, father, great Husband, son, friend, brother! Keep winning ❤
Keke, Coco, Chloe, Teyana and Victoria👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️ Well done to everyone, AND I SURELY wish there was more to the tribute, because he deserved SO MUCH MORE than this!!!👏🏽❤️
I was so obsessed with Caught Up when I was a kid 😂 and Confessions was one of my first albums ♥️ I love Usher!!! Happy that he is getting his flowers 💐
That was a powerful moment and a powerful speech. I want to see us love each other just as much as I felt the love in his speech. Thank you Usher for showing the world what we collectively need to do and how it can be done.
As a person who has been your fan for 31 years ever since I was a teenager. I want you to know that I honor you and admire you. You are an amazing person an amazing man a good father to all 4 of your children and you inspire me to be the best that I can be in my life. I didn't see the BET Awards on BET because I honestly don't have BET I've seen it on TH-cam now we can stream it on BET plus. You had given an incredible speech which had inspired me to be a better version of myself. I'm truly sorry about you not having a dad in your life but one thing that you stated made me cry when you said that your mom had played both roles in your life that she was your mother and your father and it made me cry 😭 and it made me think of my older sister how she had played both roles in her son's life which are my 2 nephews life. My sister had to play the mother and the father and for me looking at her as a single mother she is doing one heck of a job. Always remember that God is in you and God has given you the strength and the power to defeat any demons that come your way. I'm so proud of all of your achievements I'm proud of all of your accomplishments that you have received. The speech you did spoke volumes and it had touched a lot of people's hearts, minds, and souls it also spoke into their spirits. Yes, I have been a fan of Usher's when I was a teenager and at the age of 45 years old I am still a fan even if that demon like it or not. Imma (forever fan). Continue to stay sweet and pure. I love you Usher Raymond ❤️💐🌹
When you have gone through something you can talk about it you can preach about it you can teach about it hey he did his he live his he work hard he earned this
Thank you Usher for that statement because I believe it goes a long way and stated it for a reason.. so thank you.. We truly have to be willing to forgive others.. 👏🏽👏🏽
Except for the white wife he has now. In all seriousness can you really love and appreciate black women and marry a white woman? Not trying to be funny, asking for a black man’s perspective.
@moonshinesnowrich6474 so, I looked her up and it says she's Puerto Rican. ... nevertheless, his first wife was black and he has black children, that's all that matters. Be there for your children at ALL TIMES
well she’s not just Puerto Rican, she’s Puerto Rican and Italian. Neither of which are black and there’s no such thing as black adjacent. Folks love saying nevertheless and brushing off when their faves love white women.
Usher does love black women. Show me one video he has done that featured a white woman??? Certainly not as the main character show me one collab he has done with a white person? Let alone A woman. Apart from Bieber. His current Wife you could argue is olive skin but heritage is Italian who have Mors blood in them do your history or PR so what all his GF's have been black he married a black woman has two fine boys with a black woman and you want to ask how he loves black women??? He happened to fall in love with a non black woman so what??? Unlike other black artists who don't ever date black women never marties them never have children with them and never promotes or empowers black women. All the women on the stage who paid tribute where they White women? People love to chat rubbish just because... I'm happy for Usher he found love in all the right places you can see he now feels safe to speak his truth. Can't begrudge him that because she happens to be non black. When I look at his Wife I see a culturally aware respectful Woman. Who obviously loves and cares for her husband. Did you not see her Eyes when he was on stage firmly fixed on him witj love. And you want to begrudge or slate him. Get out of here.
The legends that stood behind him in support of him on that stage let's you know all you need to know about U-S-H-E-R R-A-Y-M-O-N-D! He is entrainment royalty. Thank you for all the gifts you've shared, Usher!
Awesome speech and well deserved achievement award! What a time to be alive and to take a moment for everyone to know how you feel and how blessed you are.
Usher is this generation Michael Jackson. He is so deserving of this award. What an icon. You can’t mention the greatest male artists without mentioning Usher. ❤❤❤
He deserves it. This dude has been around in our lives since we were babies to kids to adolescents to now adulthood. He deserved a much better tribute yes but let’s not forget what this man has and still is bringing into the music industry. We salute you Usher Raymond. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
There was absolutely no reason why this speech shouldn’t have been aired live. He only cussed a few times and it wasn’t even in a derogatory way. He was just expressing himself and his feelings after being honored
He shouldn't had received that award in the first place because he's way too young and didn't deserve it. A Lifetime Achievement Award? Please! Give that award to someone who's been in the industry for 40, 50 years and had paid their dues.
So just from what I know, BET can be fined heavily for the curse words. The amount I'm unsure of but it's a lot. Like damn is ok but sh*t and mf is not at all cool. I wouldn't be surprised if they got fined 10 million dollars for that if they aired it
@@slimdude2011 lol who can be in the business 60 to 70 years and alive? Be smart lol at least usher been in the game for 30 years... that's a lifetime in the entertainment industry. He just started young. I think lil Wayne the same way. Been in the game for 30 years, he just started young. Point is, usher is a living legend. He deserves this award
Hearing this now, I have no idea why they cut this off so much when it was live last night. Smh everyone should hear this. Usher is truly a legend in his area.
I absolutely love this so sad that I didn’t get to see it last night but I am happy that they actually have it here. That was an amazing speech and very great wisdom. he is such an amazing man. He even thanked all the people behind the scenes people most celebrities forget about.
This was the most beautiful and realist speech I've heard from any man at an award show.. His wife was sticking her neck out waiting on him to mention her instead of humbling herself and when he did it was a lil something. His shout out to his mother was everything especially when he said the power of a black woman. 😜
Of course his Mother is Beautiful he is beautiful. The speech was one of the best I have ever heard. His wife also beautiful . I will listen to this again it was so moving.
@@CocoChanelle-1 you do realize we don’t live in their home! What I meant is for a man to get up there and show emotion like that means he feels safe to do so and not worried about being judged. Usually that happens with therapy and a supporting partner and friends. As a man or woman if you are fearful to speak your truth or be emotional in front of people then you don’t have the right support system. Clearly he does 🩷
@@Lori_Jae I agree he has people around him that love him. In my opinion, Usher has always been comfortable in his skin to speak on or Not speak too deeply on how he felt. He seems like a really nice person, in general. I hope he’s concerned about his soul, however, and making sure he’s right with God. Many things will probably come up in his friend’s trial. He better be ready.
@@byrdtaylor5703I think he's just tryna get it right this time, in ALOT of areas in his life that maybe he wasn't his best in while tryna chase his vision of greatness. He wants to respect his 1st wife and show her kindness..inclusion and friendship for the sake of his older son's..I'm sure usher feels bad that their marriage didn't work... I think he hopes she doesn't resent him for dropping the ball with her and taking this time to be as fair of a husband as he can to Jennifer and their children, tho he's never missed a day in his older son's life...I think Tameka really wanted to be married to usher and have that 🤌🏾 in her marriage but nothing's forever. Any 1st wife would feel that way, having endure backlash for just being married to him was ALOT to handle. Usher sounds like (I'm trying Tameka) he just wants to be a good man, father, son and husband...and the greatest entertainer he can be.
@@Mone333Williams you’re exactly right and I agree wholeheartedly! I do believe there is still love for each other, not so much in a romantic way but like some of what you mentioned in your statement. I laughed at my statement because to me his laugh had an undertone to it.
remember seeing him driving into NorthPoint Mall my sister, my mom and I were leaving and I said there’s Usher so we were waving and screaming hey Usher and he was waving and smiling back then my mom said who you screaming at then I said loudly Usher😀❤️
I love this man so much! Been a fan since I first saw him singing "you make me wanna" on Moesha at 4 years old! Being born in the 90's was a gift! Beautiful speech, beautiful man ❤.
I didn’t watch the show but this speech moved me to tears. I’m so happy for Usher’s ability to survive and thrive in this crazy industry for 30years and pray his road offers more grace as he carries on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was such a genuine and selflessness speech. You can see how having the right circle of influence around you keeps you thriving. Congratulations, brother Usher.
Loved his speech. It’s time for LL Cool J to get his lifetime achievement award now. Long overdue.
He'll get it I just hope they don't censor it like they did to Usher so ridiculous.
He already has one
Great speech
He did a while back on here ..he been got his flowers Mc lyte.missy Elliott...etc timberland.. swiss beats ..eve..Busta rhymes.....Ludacris...etc they had theirs back in B.E.T AWARS BCK 2000-2015 WATCH THOSE LOL 😂..ITS 2024 ...IM 34 IVE SEEN ALL..BESIDES HIM N ITS TIME FOR HIM TO GET HIS FLOWERS 💐 NOW 🎉
Yes!!
He's still mourning over his father. Sending hugs and love.
He has accomplished so much, and he still feels rejected and abandoned by his father. So sad.😢
Your right but I didn’t nor agree when he said his mother is his mother and a father. A woman or mother can never be a father and vice versa because we don’t have the ability to do that we are who we are in and who God has created us to be my mother raised me, but she can never be a man and do my father does.
@@ursulawanza8674the feeling never goes away .. I know that feeling 🙏🏾
@@terryburney545 he stood up in front of the world and said that about his mother . That’s what his mother did and he stood on that .

Usher is that guy. He thanked the performers and the people behind the scenes. He’s definitely a stand up person.
But he didn't thank Diddy who had a lot to do with his career.
@@TA-ht4jo Well you know why he didn't. 😁
@TA-ht4jo why would he? But I'm sure he's included in that "these guys" he said 😅

You always touch my heart ❤
That’s amazing! Just take your time becoming one. 💞
Usher really said I’m gone take my time and y’all gone listen 😂😢😅

All fathers, step up and take responsibility for your kids. Don't wait until they're older when they need you now.

*HELL NO.*
Yes! ❤
Yes after fighting over some frosted flakes, a nice comforting forgiveness is needed.
Usher remember nothing is ever lost in our class of life. He expresses himself so maturely. Great job 👍🏾
I love it how BET doesn’t wait to recognize a legend while their living and not when their no longer with us
They definitely have been ON it when it comes to that!
SO true! They give the artists flowers while they can still smell them & enjoy the moment! How it should be, in my opinion!❤️👏🏼

Yes you are Brother! We fathers are indeed Blessed.
Indeed, and we are the same age. Am 47 and blessed with 4 boys
Wow we are the same age as well as our kids 🙌🏽❤ my daughter is turning 26 this year and my son is turning 18😊
Watching his speech is bringing tears to my eyes. He definitely deserves a lifetime achievement award and so much more. I have loved Usher since I was 11 years old. I am now 32 years old. He has and always will be my favorite artist. I was blessed enough to have parents that bought me tickets to his Confessions tour in NY when I was 12 or 13 years old. My room when I was in middle school was plastered with his posters and cutouts of magazines.
I’m 30 and I loved him since The Faculty and the My Way video.
Get real! He's only 45 years old, and been given a Lifetime Achievement Award? I think not!
You are one special lady with great parents with supreme taste. You saw confessions age 12. Wow I'm impressed. God bless your parents they opened your ears to great music. How do find these New Age artists? As I call them.
Usher got 30 years in the game and counting 1994-2024.... And many more! I bought the albums and tour dvds 📀
He a living legend and mogul icon n R&b king
Chris brown is princ3 of R&B
He only 47
No lie Usher is untouchable fr im 28 years old all I know is usher and thanks for the motivation SHOUT OUT TO GOOD BLACK FATHERS🫶🏼🖤🫡
*SO appreciative that you specified "GOOD". **_Far_** too many stand up when it's time to be applauded or celebrated, but don't stand up when it matters most.*
😂 stop it he touched you😮
Usher up there preaching like it’s a Sunday service. Delivering a message everyone needed to hear.
Every Rich Dude in the Music Industrie touched Him !!!
Watching Tyrese be there remembering the My Way video they did together for me was it coming full circle
That was one of the most heart felt organic speeches I’ve ever heard. You can tell it wasn’t rehearsed, which I’m sure made it that much better
I can tell him not having his father there hurt but I'm say this look what God make him to be... ❤
Usher did say maybe his father thought it was best to stay away. That was deep to have coped with it in that way. It wasn't that his father didn't want to be there, that he didn't love or care about him. Life got to the man... and not knowing how to be good enough for himself made him stay away. It made usher a serious father as the outcome. He will not leave his children, he will always support them. Then seeing his hard work is his way of saying " all this I do for you so you never wonder why or feel I wasn't there because I didn't love you".. he didn't make his children into a sign of burden or irresponsibility..his kids became his driving force and strength.
They finally gave him his flowers ❤❤

I saw Usher from the very beginning of his career around 1994. I have witnessed what he has become & i must say he has GROWN! His soeech was encouraging & I have alot of respect for him.❤
Hate him or love him. The man is talented. I enjoy his music very much ❤❤❤❤
Yes. Nobody's perfect, and thankfully he hasn't had the same year as other talented people.
Usher is G.O.A.T.💚
There's really nothing to hate why wouldvanyone hate him? I mean seriously??? Hate,??
It’s insane I remember seeing all the OG’s get their lifetime achievements awards from my parents generation now I’m seeing all the OG’s from my generation get theirs! For the record Usher is from Tennessee not Atlanta as a Tennesseean!
Facts
Tennessee mane
Texas originally Dallas Texas i could be wrong
@@ShametricPowellhe was born in Dallas but spent the majority of his life in Chattanooga Tennessee that’s where he started singing he left to go to Atlanta for a better opportunity
"OG's"!?!?...😂😂😂😂😂smh they are just good entertainers...smh relax menace to society
This was one of the best speech ever! Usher really said meaningful powerful words, one that caught me is how his Dad was not there for him but yet he still manage to make it! Well deserved Usher.
God Bless Usher- Such A Grrreat Acceptance Speech. His Wife & His Mom Looks So Very Proud Of Him- You Can Truely See It In Their Smiles & They Both Are Absolutely Stunning. Congrats To Usher, He's Always Doing His Thing Soooo Amazingly ❤
I love the fact that he told Tameka on live TV that he trying.❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Everyone has to know Usher was being unapologetic telling the truth from his heart he even called out his own son with love like a true parent. He acknowledged his father and gave a shout to hater and low key to Chill yea I fucked,but I failed but someone is praying with and for me.I approve this award ceremony speak messages.!
❤
Usher has such a good heart people that go through the worst come out way better than ever I love this for him
This speech was so touching. You deserve all that's coming to you
He deserved a better tribute, but this award was WELL DESERVED! A true LIVING LEGEND ❤
A better tribute?? Those women were amazing!
@@LI8A__noir I didn't say they weren't. He simply deserved better.
Absolutely agreed! Men should have represented him...
@@queenkayteeit was pretty dry. Teyana and Victoria saved it honestly. I was disappointed so i agree, he deserved so much better!
That tribute was terrible it was like a parody & pushing the gay agenda
His mother was his mother and father. I could always repect that. But there aint nothing like having a father around. Both are so important
Fact's
Too bad his father didn’t agree
Was his father not in his life on purpose? Serious question. The only thing Usher said years ago was that his father died while receiving a liver transplant.
Well, nonetheless, good speech & all. He deserves his shine but don't think he should of blasted his pops out like that. And never know what happened really between his mom & pops. That kind of stuff should be private stuff. Exodus 20: 12
@@Wawayne4203 but how do you know if he doesn't know about what happened between his parents?
I grew up listening to Usher, i will always love his music.
I love how he acknowledged everyone and give honor to who honor was due that takes a real man Lord I just love this young man God keep blessing him and take him and higher heights high places Lord
Ain't acknowledge Puff...😌
Usher is a Superstar Legend all the way through 🙏🏾💯🖤
It wasn't what alot of people was insinuating....great speech ❤😊 from the heart
Uh… yes indeed it was
Folks thought he mentioned Diddy who was a huge influence on his career early on but he didn't say anything about Diddy.
First album in middle school was 8701. Timeless classic. Forever an Usher fan. Congratulations to you bro!
Same here love me some usher
Here is me crying over this man's speech coz he spoke to my soul...
This goes to show we are all facing hurdles in life, some paths you walk on your own - others will be supported by near and dear people.
What an incredible and inspiring artist: Usher
Congratulations Legend and Icon Usher Raymond ❤🎉🎉
He deserved it straight up. Definitely a Living Legend!! USHERR!! Through the ups and downs you made it to the top big bro. Like he said: “Getting up there haven’t been easy, but it was worth it”. The GOAT!! 🐐👑💯💯✊🏾
Usher is THAT MAN.A definition of Coolness,Elegance,Class and self collected at the highest degree.The most solid Real G,very stable minded who avoids drama & confrontation.He is humble yet extremely successful,his wealth is beyond any man in this genre but he remains humble.He has gone beyond the limit and contributing to RnB, setting the highest standards for music, entertainment & showbiz.He is just too too Classy,
This was a very powerful speech. It was very much needed to be heard. I really thought that it was because of his cursing, but I see that was not the case. Every young person should have heard this.
What he said was true, and anyone who has the potential can live their dreams. You just have to believe and work hard.
Speaking from his heart ❤️ ❤️ I had the pleasure of backing you up here in DC four Christmas in Washington congratulations Usher❤❤❤
Usher will always be one of the greatest singers ever 💯
Usher has sold over 150 million albums and Records worldwide. He also has nine billboard hot 100 Number one song.(All are the most by any Male R&B/Pop Artist since Michael Jackson).
Usher is tied with Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye with the most R&B and hip-hop Number one songs by any Male R&B artist. Usher has the most R&B song chart Number one songs.
When you combine Real album and record sales, Live performance, dancing, Live singing ability, philanthropy, classic albums, Number one songs, overall impact and influence. Usher is no doubt the closest Male artist we've seen to Michael Jackson.
Period
I think the great M👑🎖️J is very proud of usher, that was MJ real friend.
I know usher kids ..his mother #1... is very proud of her son. Her eyes said "I love you son 🥹, I know I didn't make all the right choices but thank you for trusting me with what I knew how. Thank you for allowing me to keep you as close as I could until you found your own "usher way". Loving you thru the good/ tough/good times once again is a honor" 💞.. Usher Raymond 4th the icon. He earned his crown 👑💎✨❤️
Chris Brown*
@@PotentiallyKinetic_Flash😂 you must be trolling
And I know for a fact that it was only Michael Jackson that invited Usher to his celebration and Madison Square Garden.
All he been through as a child to the man he is.todày absolutely deserves this milestone and his speech was heart❤warming!!!
Yesss Usher!! Beautifully spoken. I love that your steps towards peace with Tamika were a part of your speech. Great man, great, father, great Husband, son, friend, brother! Keep winning ❤
Keke, Coco, Chloe, Teyana and Victoria👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Well done to everyone, AND I SURELY wish there was more to the tribute, because he deserved SO MUCH MORE than this!!!👏🏽❤️
Keke, I understand, but where the rest came out from.. I agree they are great, but hell noooo... he deserves so much more...
Yess I agree
Horrible
I enjoyed his speech. It was so authentic. Unrehearsed and from the heart. ♥️ loved it!!!
Usher is a very humble young man. How I wish I knew him in real life. Upon all the things he's been through in his life he has emerged victorious ❤
I was so obsessed with Caught Up when I was a kid 😂 and Confessions was one of my first albums ♥️ I love Usher!!! Happy that he is getting his flowers 💐
LL Cool J still doing his signature licking lips 😂 and man big Usher with the Lifetime award, the one and only for real
😂😂😂
😭😂😂…I saw that too wit his old sexy self ❤
Once you start you can't stop, they get chapped so easy. 😂
Leave that man alone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still licking his lips is so funny and true 😂
I love everything about his speech and what it stands for! He actually just inspired me to FORGIVE!!! Someone needed to hear that…it was RECEIVED!
A real grown man speech ❤
IKR????
That was a powerful moment and a powerful speech. I want to see us love each other just as much as I felt the love in his speech. Thank you Usher for showing the world what we collectively need to do and how it can be done.
As a person who has been your fan for 31 years ever since I was a teenager. I want you to know that I honor you and admire you. You are an amazing person an amazing man a good father to all 4 of your children and you inspire me to be the best that I can be in my life. I didn't see the BET Awards on BET because I honestly don't have BET I've seen it on TH-cam now we can stream it on BET plus. You had given an incredible speech which had inspired me to be a better version of myself. I'm truly sorry about you not having a dad in your life but one thing that you stated made me cry when you said that your mom had played both roles in your life that she was your mother and your father and it made me cry 😭 and it made me think of my older sister how she had played both roles in her son's life which are my 2 nephews life. My sister had to play the mother and the father and for me looking at her as a single mother she is doing one heck of a job. Always remember that God is in you and God has given you the strength and the power to defeat any demons that come your way. I'm so proud of all of your achievements I'm proud of all of your accomplishments that you have received. The speech you did spoke volumes and it had touched a lot of people's hearts, minds, and souls it also spoke into their spirits. Yes, I have been a fan of Usher's when I was a teenager and at the age of 45 years old I am still a fan even if that demon like it or not. Imma (forever fan). Continue to stay sweet and pure. I love you Usher Raymond ❤️💐🌹
When you have gone through something you can talk about it you can preach about it you can teach about it hey he did his he live his he work hard he earned this
The YEAR of the father! POWERFUL! ✊🏾
Rest well to my own Daddy.
So proud. I been knowing Usher since we were 13 and my dad worked for LaFace.
Thank you Usher for that statement because I believe it goes a long way and stated it for a reason.. so thank you.. We truly have to be willing to forgive others.. 👏🏽👏🏽
From a man who ACTUALLY DATES AND MARRIED BLACK WOMEN! I truly believe his love for black women is real
Except for the white wife he has now. In all seriousness can you really love and appreciate black women and marry a white woman? Not trying to be funny, asking for a black man’s perspective.
@moonshinesnowrich6474 so, I looked her up and it says she's Puerto Rican. ... nevertheless, his first wife was black and he has black children, that's all that matters. Be there for your children at ALL TIMES
well she’s not just Puerto Rican, she’s Puerto Rican and Italian. Neither of which are black and there’s no such thing as black adjacent. Folks love saying nevertheless and brushing off when their faves love white women.
Usher does love black women. Show me one video he has done that featured a white woman??? Certainly not as the main character show me one collab he has done with a white person? Let alone A woman. Apart from Bieber. His current Wife you could argue is olive skin but heritage is Italian who have Mors blood in them do your history or PR so what all his GF's have been black he married a black woman has two fine boys with a black woman and you want to ask how he loves black women??? He happened to fall in love with a non black woman so what??? Unlike other black artists who don't ever date black women never marties them never have children with them and never promotes or empowers black women. All the women on the stage who paid tribute where they White women? People love to chat rubbish just because... I'm happy for Usher he found love in all the right places you can see he now feels safe to speak his truth. Can't begrudge him that because she happens to be non black. When I look at his Wife I see a culturally aware respectful Woman. Who obviously loves and cares for her husband. Did you not see her Eyes when he was on stage firmly fixed on him witj love. And you want to begrudge or slate him. Get out of here.
@@sassyx2048he chose real women as wives. He also chose older women, because I feel he is an old soul. Proud of him.
The legends that stood behind him in support of him on that stage let's you know all you need to know about U-S-H-E-R R-A-Y-M-O-N-D! He is entrainment royalty. Thank you for all the gifts you've shared, Usher!
Awesome speech and well deserved achievement award! What a time to be alive and to take a moment for everyone to know how you feel and how blessed you are.
Usher is this generation Michael Jackson. He is so deserving of this award. What an icon. You can’t mention the greatest male artists without mentioning Usher. ❤❤❤
He deserves it. This dude has been around in our lives since we were babies to kids to adolescents to now adulthood. He deserved a much better tribute yes but let’s not forget what this man has and still is bringing into the music industry. We salute you Usher Raymond. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
There was absolutely no reason why this speech shouldn’t have been aired live. He only cussed a few times and it wasn’t even in a derogatory way. He was just expressing himself and his feelings after being honored
He shouldn't had received that award in the first place because he's way too young and didn't deserve it. A Lifetime Achievement Award? Please! Give that award to someone who's been in the industry for 40, 50 years and had paid their dues.
@@slimdude2011 notice how that doesn't relate to the original comment at all?
So just from what I know, BET can be fined heavily for the curse words. The amount I'm unsure of but it's a lot. Like damn is ok but sh*t and mf is not at all cool. I wouldn't be surprised if they got fined 10 million dollars for that if they aired it
@@slimdude2011 lol who can be in the business 60 to 70 years and alive? Be smart lol at least usher been in the game for 30 years... that's a lifetime in the entertainment industry. He just started young. I think lil Wayne the same way. Been in the game for 30 years, he just started young. Point is, usher is a living legend. He deserves this award
I didn't understand it either all that cussing bet have in them shows they have
Hearing this now, I have no idea why they cut this off so much when it was live last night. Smh everyone should hear this. Usher is truly a legend in his area.
That was so moving Usher, I can understand everything you have said as this hits close to home for my achieving single parent grandchildren. Xx
I absolutely love this so sad that I didn’t get to see it last night but I am happy that they actually have it here. That was an amazing speech and very great wisdom. he is such an amazing man. He even thanked all the people behind the scenes people most celebrities forget about.
This was the most beautiful and realist speech I've heard from any man at an award show.. His wife was sticking her neck out waiting on him to mention her instead of humbling herself and when he did it was a lil something. His shout out to his mother was everything especially when he said the power of a black woman. 😜
Why you have to come at his wife? Looks like she was listening intently to his speech. Messy.
@@tonimt1712 why are you coming for me. You see how that works.
Scripture, vulnerability, forgiveness. I loved every part.🙏🏽❤️❤️
Thank you for uploading bc that audio last night was HORRIBLE. Couldn’t hear practically the whole speech
They cut it off on purpose
@kendra.achildress5210 it's crazy cuz I heard every curse word from Sexxy red & ice spice
@@j-dub22exactly 🤦🏾♀️
Yes. I'm glad b.e.t is a real one and uploaded the speech
I thought it was my service 😢
Of course his Mother is Beautiful he is beautiful. The speech was one of the best I have ever heard. His wife also beautiful . I will listen to this again it was so moving.
13 AWESOME MINUTES! i have loved Usher since I first heard him.... and these 13 minutes made me love him even more!... AWARD WELL DESERVED!
I love the transparency and gratitude of his speech.
Congratulations Usher u deserved this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lmao!! LL cool j still licking his lips to this day bro💀😂. Freaking Legend & congrats to usher🫡.
❤thank you for the tribe and tribute!!! We love you Young King!!! And I will always be a fan! Thank you for your forgiving heart ❤️❤️
Well deserved... been in the game since 16yrs old...world loves u Usher
His wife clearly has a hand in his openness and living his truth! ❤❤❤
You can tell she is humbly proud of her man!!!
❤❤ that
How? I’ve never heard her speak about him.
@@CocoChanelle-1 you do realize we don’t live in their home! What I meant is for a man to get up there and show emotion like that means he feels safe to do so and not worried about being judged. Usually that happens with therapy and a supporting partner and friends. As a man or woman if you are fearful to speak your truth or be emotional in front of people then you don’t have the right support system. Clearly he does 🩷
@@Lori_Jae I agree he has people around him that love him. In my opinion, Usher has always been comfortable in his skin to speak on or Not speak too deeply on how he felt. He seems like a really nice person, in general. I hope he’s concerned about his soul, however, and making sure he’s right with God. Many things will probably come up in his friend’s trial. He better be ready.
Usher is the man God bless him and his endeavors
Congratulations Usher on your Lifetime Achievement Award..Your a stand up bro!
Nothing but the truth. Hes such a humble beautiful man his heart is so huge🙏🏿💙🦾
Ive listened to usher since his first album dropped.. im so happy he won this award!!!
Not “I’m trying Tameka” 😂
😂
He still loves her and she still loves him. That's why it’s hard. 😂
@@byrdtaylor5703I think he's just tryna get it right this time, in ALOT of areas in his life that maybe he wasn't his best in while tryna chase his vision of greatness. He wants to respect his 1st wife and show her kindness..inclusion and friendship for the sake of his older son's..I'm sure usher feels bad that their marriage didn't work... I think he hopes she doesn't resent him for dropping the ball with her and taking this time to be as fair of a husband as he can to Jennifer and their children, tho he's never missed a day in his older son's life...I think Tameka really wanted to be married to usher and have that 🤌🏾 in her marriage but nothing's forever. Any 1st wife would feel that way, having endure backlash for just being married to him was ALOT to handle. Usher sounds like (I'm trying Tameka) he just wants to be a good man, father, son and husband...and the greatest entertainer he can be.
i wouldna went for that 🤣
@@Mone333Williams you’re exactly right and I agree wholeheartedly! I do believe there is still love for each other, not so much in a romantic way but like some of what you mentioned in your statement. I laughed at my statement because to me his laugh had an undertone to it.
remember seeing him driving into NorthPoint Mall my sister, my mom and I were leaving and I said there’s Usher so we were waving and screaming hey Usher and he was waving and smiling back then my mom said who you screaming at then I said loudly Usher😀❤️
Congratulations Usher Raymond...well deserved. Speech that was needed...felt it❤
I love this man so much! Been a fan since I first saw him singing "you make me wanna" on Moesha at 4 years old! Being born in the 90's was a gift! Beautiful speech, beautiful man ❤.
I didn’t watch the show but this speech moved me to tears. I’m so happy for Usher’s ability to survive and thrive in this crazy industry for 30years and pray his road offers more grace as he carries on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We love u Ursheerrr baby 😊😊
It's Usher 😊😊😊😊
He was just keeping it real. I love his talent 😍
This was such a genuine and selflessness speech. You can see how having the right circle of influence around you keeps you thriving. Congratulations, brother Usher.
