Black Twitter can and will turn any event into a roast session, but the jokes told during the BET Awards are probably my favorite ones. Many people consider it to be a big family reunion but instead of exchanging food and stories, we get together and make comical observations of everything that happens during the show. Although it was hard narrowing them down, below are some of my favorite jokes.
The slander started early with Black Twitter claiming Bobby Valentino is the first victim of the night during the red carpet pre- show.
Classic man, classic jokes.
The Zendaya slander is proof that you’re never too cute to get joked on.
Every celebrity has that one questionable outfit, do we should just give August a pass.
I won’t even try to cape for Tamar; she sets herself up for stuff like this.
Same.
J.Cole: the Leonardo DiCaprio of the BET Awards
Diddy got a double dose of jokes that night when he not only fell down during the Bad Boy tribute but was stuck standing behind Smokey Robinson during his acceptance speech.
