00:00Billboard is here on the 2026 BET Awards rare carpet with Candice Diller-Bassett.
00:04How are we feeling tonight?
00:05I'm feeling moisturized and black.
00:08Yes.
00:08Yeah.
00:09Now we have a crazy lineup tonight.
00:11So many performers and tributes.
00:12Who are you most excited to see?
00:14I'm excited to see Lizzo and my brother Durand, who I just saw running around.
00:19My recent Grammy award-winning Durand.
00:21Talk about it.
00:22I'm just so excited for him and all that's coming and his tour with Kalani.
00:26It's I just want to see what he's going to do.
00:28He's going to sing from his face.
00:29I'm just excited to hear our face singing.
00:31Yes.
00:31Yes.
00:32Now speaking of singing, you've been keeping us fed with these If Only remixes.
00:36What else can we expect from you this year in terms of new music?
00:40Yes.
00:40If Only is still out there in the zeitgeist.
00:42It's myself and I have a version with my sister Tamar Raxton.
00:45Yes.
00:46Another version with my brother Daryl Walls.
00:51I'm going to say Durand Bernard.
00:52My brother Daryl Walls.
00:53And on July 17th, I have a new single out.
00:57It's called Pretty Ain't Perfect.
00:58Ooh.
00:59Um, it's, it's, it's kind of, it's a slow like smoldering moment.
01:04I'm kind of talking trash to my husband.
01:06Come on.
01:07You know, we gotta do it.
01:08It's a real moment.
01:09It was a real moment in our relationship that I think a lot of people who've been in relationships
01:13can relate to.
01:14When you make promises to each other and you don't quite meet them, how do you go forward
01:20or go back and fix it?
01:21And it's not always pretty.
01:22Yeah.
01:23It's not perfect.
01:24Yes.
01:24And it's, and I'm, I'm doing a little, I'm doing some singing on it.
01:27Okay.
01:27I did a little, a little screaming and stuff.
01:29Oh, come on.
01:30From the chef, from the diaphragm.
01:31From the diaphragm.
01:32Come on.
01:32Yes.
01:33Yes.
01:34We just named Earth, Wind & Fire the number one R&B group of all time.
01:37Who was your pick for greatest R&B group of all time?
01:41Oh my gosh.
01:42R&B group?
01:43R&B group.

01:59Okay.
01:59Yes, yes, yes.
02:00Um, yeah, I would, yeah, that'd be my groups.
