Usher Raymond

American singer Usher Raymond is having a busy 2024, from headlining the Super Bowl to getting married, and now being set to receive a Lifetime Achievement BET Award.

The 45-year-old star will be honoured for his career achievements at the BET Awards at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on June 30.

“The relationship between BET and Usher spans decades, from his multiple appearances on 106 and Park, to most recently winning the entertainer of the year trophy at the 55th NAACP Image Awards,” says BET executive Connie Orlando.

“From his chart-topping hits, electrifying performances, and unforgettable vocals to his signature moves and sound, Usher continues to stand on culture, setting new standards for the music industry and black excellence,” she says.

The singer celebrated the moment with his 13,1 million Instagram followers and shared his excitement for the big day.

“30 years of U and I…My Day 1s! Thank U @bet for honouring me with the Lifetime Achievement Award and a tribute performance. See U at the #BETAwards,” he posted.

Usher performed the Super Bowl half-time show in Las Vegas earlier this year, and the chart-topping star said it was one of the highlights of his career.

The singer explained that he wanted to produce a memorable performance for his fans.

Speaking prior to the event, he told Vogue: “It has to be perfect.

“I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel like it’s a celebration for everybody, for all of us, from the beginning up until this point,” he said. – IOL Entertainment
