“Thank you so much BET, and thank you to all the wonderfully-talented, beautiful black women I share this category with. Beyoncé, thank you for everything you have done for black culture.”
“Three years ago, I sat in the audience and didn’t win anything, but I still went home and felt like a winner. Last year, I performed on the main stage - I didn’t win anything, and I still felt like a winner. I will always feel like a winner because as long you’re winning in life, that’s the only trophy you need.”
