00:00What an incredible evening here tonight at the BET Awards,

00:03culture's biggest night.

00:04The show is just about to end.

00:06What has been your highlight so far?

00:08Oh man, seeing Usher receive his flowers

00:10has been very special.

00:11I think he is someone who has influenced me as a creative,

00:15as a man, as an artist, and just his grace

00:18that he walks through life with.

00:21He couldn't be a better example, honestly.

00:23Shout out to Usher Raymond, yeah.

00:25The camera panned to you quite a few times

00:27when Usher was on stage

00:28receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award.

00:30You seemed really into what he was saying

00:32and very inspired.

00:33Tell me about that.

00:35See, the thing is,

00:38I've always been very comfortable in my own skin.

00:42And I know how to celebrate greatness.

00:46It doesn't matter if we're around the same age.

00:49It doesn't matter how long he's been it versus me.

00:54I am the biggest Usher Raymond fan, period.

00:58When he wins, there's something inside of my heart

01:01that just really rejoices.

01:04And he works so hard.

01:06He's been so consistent.

01:08He's been able to reinvent himself.

01:10And Usher has blessed me.

01:13Before I got on and released my first single,

01:17I was featured in a video called My Way.

01:19And I was his rival in the video.

01:21That was his video that he did not have to let me

01:24dance in or be in.

01:26♪ He likes it my way, yes, my way, my way, my way. ♪

01:33Circle moment for you tonight.

01:34Absolutely.

01:35I mean, no one is outsold.

01:37Usher and everybody around him know how much I love him,

01:41how much I support him.

01:42And I appreciate his gift and his consistency.

01:45I'm inspired all over again.

01:47I gotta tell you, I've been a fan of yours

01:49for quite a long time.

01:50Tonight, in my opinion, a little baby boy reunion.

01:53I hate you.

01:55I'ma have me a man, boo boo.

01:57Our evening's host, Taraji P. Henson, and you here tonight.

02:00Did you have a chance to chat with Taraji

02:02and acknowledge that?

02:03Yeah, I mean, we took some photos on the red carpet.

02:07It's, that's my baby.

02:09She's another one.

02:11Came to L.A., single mother with her son

02:16and father of her son that just got murdered.

02:20And she just left D.C. with a hope and a dream.

02:24And I'm just looking at her continue to flourish.

02:28And, you know, it's two things that always happen

02:31when I'm around her.

02:33I rejoice in happiness and I also am reminded

02:38of someone that we still can't believe

02:40we lost in John Singleton.

02:43It's like, oh God, you know?

02:45Cause I know who would be sitting next to me in the audience.

02:49I know who would be sitting there.

02:51Like, yo, Taraji's hosting the BET Awards.

02:53All right, well come get me, I'm come get like.

02:56So just congratulations to Taraji on everything.

03:00You brought up John Singleton.

03:01What a beautiful Instagram post.

03:02Your daughter, John's son,

03:05you're manifesting a YouTube channel.

03:07Tell me about the next legacy

03:09and how beautiful it is to watch that.

03:11Yeah, well, see, that's what I mean.

03:14Like, 7 John Singleton is his name.

03:17It's John Singleton's seventh child.

03:20And I have the honor of raising him.

03:25I made the mother of Singleton's, the nanny.

03:33She's the caretaker for my five-year-old and her son.

03:38So just seeing them together every single day, you know,

03:42and in my house where John used to sleep

03:45for two weeks at a time whenever he was writing

03:47and creating, in my whole basement,

03:50it's about 8,000 square feet.

03:53It's called the Singleton Suite.

03:55So he goes downstairs all the time

03:57to sit on the couch that his father always sat on.

04:01And just seeing them running through the house,

04:03in my mind, that's what it's about.

04:05Gibson, Singleton, we've been dancing for over 20 years.

04:09And now to see our kids dancing,

04:13it's my brother, I love him.

04:15I'm obsessed with these coordinated looks.

04:17Was this intentional?

04:18No.

04:18Stop it.

04:19Absolutely not.

04:20No.

04:21Wow, you're spending a lot of time together.

04:22You start dressing alike.

04:23Yeah, it's kind of crazy.

04:24Crazy, like, yeah.

04:26Like facial hair, it's too much, too much, too much.

04:29A little weird out here, you know?

04:30I know, it's sweet, it's sweet.

04:32It's giving brothers.

04:33I really love it.

04:35Tonight.

04:36Father-son in the movie, 1992, yes.

04:39Might get a little crazy out there today.

04:42Chris was casted to play my son in this film, 1992,

04:46that we couldn't be more proud of.

04:48And literally, I've always wanted a son.

04:50I've always wanted to be the father figure.

04:53I have two beautiful daughters.

04:55You say girl dad, yes.

04:55Yeah, so, but you know, I've always wanted a son.

04:59And although, of course, he has his own biological,

05:01real father in his life, it's been an honor

05:04to take on that role in real life.

05:58Listen, 1992, there was a real, speaking of culture,

06:04there was a real cultural moment

06:06where the whole world just paused in disbelief

06:10at what happened when the LAPD beat down Rodney King

06:17on the level that they did.

06:19Fast forward, April 29th, 1992,

06:23when the verdict came in and it was not guilty.

06:26A stunning verdict, the four police officers

06:28were found not guilty.

06:33I was living in Watts, South Central LA,

06:36and I was out there protesting, looting and rioting as well.

06:41It happened, but yeah, it was really a rebellious moment

06:44for us to say, man, enough is enough.

06:47So imagine fast forward, speaking to John Singleton,

06:51speaking to all that we represent

06:54being from South Central LA.

06:561992 is a movie starring, rest in peace, Ray Liotta,

07:01myself, Scott Eastwood, Chris, as I stated, plays my son,

07:06and it's all that went down, a whole heist

07:09that's gonna go crazy that went down in the middle

07:12while the whole world was distracted

07:14and burning everything down.

07:20Watching news.

07:21No one minding the store.

07:26This is our window.

07:34All I can say is we on the West Coast

07:38have not had a movie moment since Straight Outta Compton.

07:42Kendrick Lamar got us hot in these streets,

07:44LeBron James and his son got us hot in these streets,

07:48but we got the only movie that's coming from the West Coast.
