She's so gorgeous. She's so much, she's so smart. She, we opened up a conversation about her I jokingly said my DMs don't have anything going on. My DMs, Brittany, are you there? Big mistake, big, big, big mistake. I've been forwarding all my DMs to Nia. She said, welcome to the world. She did this to me. She did. She opened up, she floodgated my DMs. I think it's really funny. So that's been an ongoing joke of her all week. But I hope you guys do too. The feedback's been great. But somehow after our episode, she must have did a fitting and popped out on this brown silky number. Look at Nia. That photo is great, but there's a video of her where she's like walking in, she walks, and she flings her hair and she walks away and she gives like a little backward wave. I'm like, look at this girl. She's such made for this. She's made for this. And look at this dress. Look at this dress. Look at her. Come on now, Nia. So yes, she looked amazing on the carpet.

But watching her step into the role of like correspondent and be on the carpet and talking to Young Miami and you know, just everybody. And looking as fly as she did, I was like, oh, she is such a natural scene. She is so in her bag. So shout out to Azie doing a great job at the BET Awards. Also, shout out to Laura and Larosa, I saw her. She had on a really pretty outfit and she was doing the carpet as well. And Ivy, our girl Ivy Rivera was out there hosting. The BT Experience, yes.

And on top of that, Queen Latifah popped out. Queen Latifah popped out. Queen Latifah don't be popping out rapping for people, like she, you know what I mean? The actual moment for a lot to pop out. And she popped out with Common, which immediately gives you a nod to just write those two together in that movie. forget like you know not only are the movie stars and these you know og talents you forget like their first rappers like so they killed the performance like the actual performance was was great so yeah I thought that was really special shout out to Lauren Hill her kids coming on were so cute too.
