AceShowbiz - Jazmine Sullivan wasn't the only one who addressed Roe v. Wade ruling at the 2022 BET Awards. Janelle Monae, who presented Jazmine her Best Female R&B/Pop Artist trophy, first praised female, queer and nonbinary black artists for "making art on our own terms, owning our truth and expressing ourselves freely and unapologetically in a world that tries to control and police our bodies, my body, and our decisions."
She later flipped off the camera while saying, "F**k you, Supreme Court." She added, "I know we're celebrating us right now as we should. We absolutely deserve to celebrate - especially now we should celebrate our art by protecting our right and our truths."
