For the fifth consecutive year, the beautiful Gabrielle Union took to  the stage and hosted this year’s BET Honors at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC, honoring extraordinary African Americans in music, literacy, film, arts and more. This year’s honorees included author/poet Dr. Maya Angelou, filmmaker Spike Lee,  Stevie Wonder, track & field coach Beverly Kearney and The Tuskegee Airmen. Mariah Carey was also one of the night’s big honorees, accepting the Entertainer Award from her emotional husband, Nick Cannon. Nick gushed:

“It is truly, truly a blessing to be here tonight, and I am humbled and in awe of everyone’s presence, but mostly my hero right there. What most people don’t get the opportunity to experience is the true woman; the virtuous person who is my angel.”

Mariah Carey handpicked Kelly Rowland for her tribute which included a performance of ‘Fantasy, followed by ‘Hero’ performed by Patti Labelle. After the show, Mariah tweeted to Kelly:

@KELLYROWLAND Dear Kelly, thank you so much for the a+++mazing tribute at the BET honors last night.

@KELLYROWLAND I can’t wait for your fans to see how great you were. You’ve no idea how much I appreciate you. x0x
