00:00Billboard is here at the 2026 BET Awards Red Carpet with the one and only Miss Beautiful, Miss Money Long.
00:05Hi, how you doing?
00:06I'm good. Now that you're here in this gorgeous dress, you've got to tell me about this fit.
00:10I'm wearing my beloved Sergio Hudson tonight.
00:13I just wanted to feel cinched, snatched, pulled up, elegant, classy, and I think I'm delivering.
00:18You think you're delivering. You know you're delivering.
00:21A period.
00:22Now, how does it feel to have your new single, The Richest, out in the world right now?
00:25I'm really excited for people to just be inspired to love.
00:28I think the song by itself, but also the visual with my co-star, Akeem Ali, it just makes people
00:34want to be in love or call their lover.
00:37With all the stuff going on in the world right now, all the tragedy and just war and like, you
00:42know,
00:42I think there is so much more room for kindness, for community, and for love.
00:46And so if my one contribution to the world is to inspire you to love and, you know, call that
00:52person and just experience, you know,
00:54every moment with them and be grateful, then I'm glad that I could do that.
00:58Oh, I love that so much.
01:00You know, you've overcome so much recently.
01:01We're all so proud of you.
01:03What does it feel for you to be walking this carpet tonight?
01:05I'm a little anxious.
01:06I'm not going to lie just because, you know, there's a lot of people.
01:08So I got my fan.
01:10I'm blowing away the germs.
01:11I got my mask for when we go inside.
01:13I'm just trying to stay healthy and, you know, I don't want to catch nothing.
01:16So please back, back.
01:17If you see me, don't just air kiss.
01:20We got you.
01:21We got you.
01:21Now one last question for you.
01:22We just named Earth, Wind & Fire the top R&B group of all time.
01:26Who was your pick for the greatest R&B group of all time?
01:28I mean, that's a pretty good one.
01:31Well, you know, I'm a little young, so I would kind of say Boyz II Men.
01:37Let's talk about it.
01:38Boyz II Men.
01:39You know, that's what I used to watch growing up.
01:42New Edition, Bellevue of Duvall.
01:45Like, those are the people who I grew up on.
01:46But I don't know.
01:47Don't fight me.
01:49We won't fight you.
01:49We love you so much, Monique.
01:50Thank you so much.
01:51Have a beautiful time in there tonight.
