Yes, the talented Anita Baker who gave us hits such as “Giving You The Best That I Got,” “Caught Up in the Rapture,” and more will receive the lifetime achievement award at the 2018 BET awards this year.

Baker, who has eleven Billboard Hot 100 entries, with “Giving You The Best That I Got,”  peaking at number 3, will not only receive her award, but is allegedly also set to perform. Baker is currently finishing up her farewell concert series with 5 remaining dates in St. Louis, MO, Louisville, KY, and Nashville, Tennessee.

BET will also also be honoring societal heros like James Shaw Jr. (who disarmed the Waffle House shooter), Naomi Wadler (11-year-old speaker at March For Our Lives), Mamoudou Gassama (the man who climbed outside of building to save a dangling 4-year-old), Justin Blackman (the only student to walk out of his High School on National Student Walk-Out Day), Shaun King (journalist who has been instrumental in covering untold stories in the black community), and Anthony Borges (Parkland Victim/Hero who threw himself in line of fire – shot 5 times) for their Humanitarian Heroes segment.

The 2018 BET Awards, hosted by Jamie Foxx, will take place Sunday, June 24, 2018, airing at 8pm est/5pm std.
