The BET Awards was a star-stunning show tonight since global pop stars like Tyla, Childish Gambino, and even one of the greatest actors in Hollywood, Will Smith who performed his new song called “You Can Make It.” While the overall event was spectacular, Deiondra Sanders wasn’t too pleased with how Usher’s tribute went whereas her father’s ex-girlfriend, Tracey, congratulated the renowned R&B singer.
The Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles became Usher’s Colosseum after he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, the famous “Yeah!” hitmaker also bagged the Best Male R&B/Pop Artist award. Later, the BET honored Usher with a medley of tribute acts where several performers covered some of his favorite songs and though they were all mostly female, Deiondra was irked by the fact that her baby daddy, Jacquees, the ‘King of Pop’ wasn’t invited to be a part of the act.

Tracey Edmonds was all dressed up in a shiny bright-blue dress while she attended the event and witnessed the magical night. She was seen posing with the Parker McKenna and having the time of her life spectating all the performances. She posted a story to congratulate Usher on his Lifetime Achievement Award as well and captioned it, “Congratulations @usher! 🔥” But the daughter of her ex-boyfriend had different feelings altogether.

Deiondra took to X to let loose all the reservations she had about her baby daddy not being a part of the Usher tribute and wrote, “That didn’t make sense #BETAwards” and posted another tweet that said, “They shoulda had my man up there for the usher tribute.” But the daughter of Deion failed to notice the fact that the tribute mainly consisted of females and no men were allowed to serenade Usher. Yet, it’s evident that she is willing to stand up for Jacquees, hence, strengthening their love and bond together. Though Deiondra is unhappy with BET today, it is also interesting to note that she made her television debut with BET in the first place back in 2019.

‘Games People Play’- the TV show began in 2019 and ran for two seasons before running its ground. It was a show that revolved around the world of money and glamour in Los Angeles and was based on the book, Games Divas Play. What is interesting about the show is that Tracey Edmonds was the producer for the show and during this time, she was engaged to Deion Sanders.
This might have been the very connection that Deiondra banked on to make her TV Debut even though it was only a short appearance. Even though the split between Tracey and Deion was a tragic one, she sure helped Deiondra with her first-ever TV cameo but now, it’s a fateful day that she is complaining about the organization’s decision to not include Jacquees in the Usher tribute.
