Last year, BET kicked off the Social Awards,
highlighting the biggest influencers and moments
that broke the internet,
producing over 400000 interactions
on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
But this year, it is back and bigger
than ever as the Social Awards takes place on Sunday,
March 3rd at 8:00 p.m.
live to celebrate all of the top influencers, talents,
and moments that happened in 2018.
Right now, we are in what I like to call the Trophy Room
as I'll sit down with my celebrity panel
and we're gone get down to the bottom
of what moments really broke the internet in 2018.
Ready to meet my guests?
We have the legendary Mr. Brian B.
Dot Miller, the one and only Miss Tracy G.
and my guy, the youngest in charge, Mr. Jameer Pond,
and I am Jamila Mustafa.
Alright panel, our first category is best celeb follow.
The nominees are Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Jada Pinkett Smith,
Plies, or Will Smith.
Now, these nominees are celebrities
that offer us a front row seat to their personal lives,
I get a little jealous but I can't stop watching.
Who are you guys rolling with?
A little jealous ...
That was good, that was good.
Yeah.
You know, I'm a fan of Sweet Boy Society
but I gotta say Will Smith, I mean, you know,
to have somebody not here for a long time on social media
and to so ... he mastered it.
He's like a master course teacher
and when he slows down his voice and talks like that,
it makes it seem so much more magnified
like he's giving me a lot of gems.
Shout out to Will, I'm going with Will, check.
And I agree with you though because he just got a Instagram-
He just got it. ... in like 2017,
he shows his personal life,
he shows a little bit of his family's personal life
which I bet they don't like but I find entertaining.
It's hilarious.
And he's a master of reinventing himself and that's a good skill.
Exactly! Which makes him also a great student
because it's funny how we look at him
as like the quintessential teacher,
but the reason why he's killing Instagram
is because he studies what works, what doesn't.
What's an open lane that I can take, okay,
everyone is going off of entertainment,
how can I make it edu-tainment, you know?
Come on, let me pick a gem. Here's a gem for me.
Polish it up, boy, it's worth a lot.
But with that said, I'ma go with his counterpart,
the pocket therapist that is Jada Pinkett Smith.
And the fact that your hubster is also in this category,
I mean, it's gotta go to either or.
The fight is fixed.
Two for one.
The fight is fixed.
Who you got, B. Dot?
I mean, after following you,
Jamila, I think I'm gonna go with ...
I gotta go with Nicki Minaj, man.
Because as a reformed creeper,
her posts are like soft core porn, you know.
You might stare hard enough, you might see a nip slip,
you might see a back shot, I'm just saying.
So it takes me back to my former life
so I'm going with Nicki Minaj.
Okay, got you ... alright.
Whoo! That was intense, now we're gonna get into a category
where we can laugh a little bit.
Oh, let's lighten it up, yeah.
Okay. And our next category is L.M.A.O. the nominees are
Chicklet, I Am Zoie, That Girl Jay Cole, B.
Simone, Yes I'm Pretty Vee.
Now these nominees are the funniest,
the most innovative popular kids on social media
if you could say.
From their skits to their roasting
to even their alter egos
and transforming into different personalities,
these kids are killing the internet.
Who would you say are you laughing your ass off at?
You're my boyfriend!
Okay!
Like those are like my three favorite words of
Instagram like for real, B.
Simone, she was just able to submit herself
off of that type of branding, you know?
That voice, she got so many different celebrities
to do it, obviously Nick
Cannon picked up on all her value
and she's a part of Wild 'N Out.
She's also now gonna have her own show
off of you're my boyfriend, I think it's just called
You're My Boyfriend and it's like what?
I do also like Jay Cole
because she just gives a whole buffet of personality, you know?
One day she's just a snot faced kid,
the next day she's just like a hood nigga that you gone
'bout to be like nah, you know?
So she just gives so many different layers
and so I'm here for it
and I'm also just here for three women
dominating this category, three, three, three!
Why over here? What I do?
Yeah!
Just a friendly reminder.
I'm with you though.
I guess this is the reason why I voted for Chicklet
because I love the dynamic between hm and his girl,
it reminds me of my relationship,
just a little bit less violent, you know?
But I love the way they keep their thing,
their relationship spicy,
they're constantly one-upping each other
and it just feels fun.
It feels like I'm almost in their relationship too.
Yeah. And I like seeing women like get they bully on.
Oh yeah. You know what I mean?
You're aggressive today. She's ... for real.
Yeah, no, I'm getting inspo.
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Okay. I'm, I'm going with Jay Cole.
I think Jay Cole has had an incredible year
and I think her brand of comedy is so versatile
like you were saying, she could play somebody old
and somebody young like a clip back to back.
And it's just brilliant to me,
like her brilliance is very good and she got a ...
either she got a young old face or a old young face,
but there's something there-
And ain't no Instagram filters. Right.
... it's not a Instagram filter, I don't know what it is-
Sold separately.
... but she's so clever and just like in her approach,
I really think 2019 she really gone take over.
Now one person that is on the list
but we didn't talk about is
Yes I'm Pretty Vee with the follow me,
don't follow me, follow me, the robe, her funny punch lines,
I think she's pretty good.
Also, what do you guys think about I Am Zoie?
I think I Am Zoie is dope,
I mean, what he did as far as taking the kids and kinda
like he's studying that kinda craft
as far as what they're saying,
how to react and then blending it,
I think he's really good at what he does.
But I think that girl Jay Cole, she just got the one up, man.
Yeah. That Halloween skit was kinda funny.
Dawg, yeah!
Alright, okay.
Now, this next category you guys are all wavy,
I mean, come on, look at the swag you're giving me.
We love you already boo.
Where you get this from, huh? This is swaggy right here.
That's a fact, it look like it's my size though.
It's my size though.
That's her size.
I'm returning this tomorrow.
But our next category is Issa Wave.
Now, these nominees are City Girls, Ella Mai,
Her, Lil' Baby, and Queen Naija.
Now, this category really covers the musical artists
and the waves that they've created
whether that's social media, whether that's record sales,
that's really kinda word of mouth
and I think that they're pretty dope.
Who do you think is the waviest of the wave?
Well, I'm the president of the City Boys Fan Club.
Shout out to JT and Yung Miami, I just love their album.
I love Period, I love they're brash,
their brand of unapologetic feminism.
It's the kind of feminism I can get behind, you know?
Okay.
Thick fine woman with some twerk ...
They make no apologies for scamming
and being independent and having your own money,
taking someone else's money.
And I'm like you know what, go ahead girl, do your thing.
So I'm going with the City Girls.
Yeah. And you know what, just to vibe off of that,
they don't need the glance of B.
Dot, we don't need males to feel empowered-
Damn! Shots!
... no, not in a way where I want your absence
like I do appreciate the presence of y'all-
Okay, 'cause I would love to be there, you know.
... but mainly in hip hop like
once you placed a woman in front of a camera,
it's like okay, we need you to be some sexual desire
to satisfy the male appetite.
And for them to do their twerk video,
first of all, we just don't see women in pairs like that
so then they made it like a triplet treat
by adding Cardi B to twerk, that became a huge hit.
We haven't see a music video where girls just wanna have fun
and we dancing and it's not ...
We don't need, you know, dudes around to twerk.
We don't need dudes around to look cute!
We don't need dudes around to like show off,
you know what I'm saying?
So it was a different flavor of self love, so ..
I like that. I was with it, what you think?
I'm definitely going with City Girls as well.
I think City Girls-
Three for three- Hey-
... they better win the award, I mean, come on.
... I hope so 'cause along with that, I mean, you saw
a lot of movements being made. So we saw the free JT movement,
which is like on par with free Meek Mill,
free Tony Yayo back in the day, you know, that was good.
Flute out, which became ...
it should be part of a dictionary at this point-
It's a new verb.
... it's gonna ruin a lot of kids
just like it ruined like Fabolos, I still don't-
Bootlyicious, it's a lot of those ...
That's what I'm saying, bling bling-
All tree 'o dem.
... all tree 'o dem.
Respeck, you know what I'm saying?
So that's on par with that and then you just have like
we're saying, you know, the celebration of women.
This is what Martin Luther King wanted.
Light skin and dark skin, Jew and Gentile, shaking at once.
Amen! Amen!
Amen! Shaking at once ...
You know?
So I think they got the streets on lock right now.
And one person we can't forget about
when we talk about creating waves socially is Queen Naija.
She was able to go from YouTube with one man,
get out of that relationship and start dating the guy
who she did her skits with,
then release music on social media
and actually use that platform
to turn into a huge social star but a huge musician.
That sounds like a Tyler Perry movie right there.
It does.
That's a novel.
That's a dope timeline of consistency,
like her fan base is crazy.
Yeah, I saw it firsthand when she was in Times Square
last summer, she caused a frenzy like it was
N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, you know, in the middle-
Wow. Bring out Carson Daly.
... yeah! You know, in the middle of Times Square.
And that showed like real life interaction,
it's not just confined to YouTube, it's real life.
Yeah. And sometimes you need to prove
that like there has to be proof of Internet concept in a sense
because a lot of these big brands,
it's like okay, we'll give you a little change
because it's cute on Instagram,
but we have to test it out to see
if people will actually leave their homes to see you.
That's a fact.
So we just brought up Queen Naija but also come on,
we got Lil' Baby who had an outstanding year.
Can't forget Baby, man. Yeah.
Baby, you know, from killing it in Atlanta
to having some of the most respected musicians
in the game dub him as being next,
Baby was able to score that
Drake feature, he's doing some really pretty big things
that's he's a young guy who said he didn't even wanna rap.
I know that's making all the real rappers pissed off like
I been wanting this all my life.
All my life, I had to rap!
Yes, it's just one of those moments.
So what's your take on Lil' Baby and also we gotta throw Ella Mai
in that category, similar to Queen Naija,
who got discovered on social media.
See, that's the beauty of Lil' Baby
like whenever he does these features, he owns it man.
He's had two Drake features at this point,
every time he holds his own.
And then he has the Yo Gotti feature,
Put It on a Date, where he kills it.
I mean, that flow is like water. His pH balance is high.
Essential.
... it's essential.
And I think we talk about Lil' Baby and him and Gunna,
what they did with-
Drip Too Hard. ... yeah, their mix tape.
And when you talk about even the term drip.
Like it was out before
but they kinda took it to a different level
so you cannot like take away Baby's success.
Lil' Baby's definitely killing it.
And they've also created a lot of content for the dancers.
Now maybe it wasn't like on this In My Feelings
but like the hardcore choreographers and whatever,
I've just seen on Instagram that explode.
And he's been consistent.
Alright, Ella Mai, from social media,
was it Chris Brown I think that kinda discovered her
and then she signed with what, Mustard?
And then she went ahead and launched,
what's your take on that?
I mean, look. Can we talk about the massive success of Boo'd Up?
Can we!
You can't ... like there was a moment
where you couldn't escape that song if you wanted to,
it was one of the best songs of the year
if not the most memorable song definitely.
And she didn't disappoint with her album,
you know, her album, I know they had the controversy
with her and Jacquees, you know what I'm saying?
Alleged king of R&B.
Alleged, well, that's a different story.
But you can't deny the impact or the content
like she's not a one hit wonder,
she's proven that she's here to stay.
You know what's so ill about her too
is that you don't think that she's British,
like she knows how to mask that accent.
I'm like what?
Fooled you!
Now, you guys know how to really hustle in real life.
You gotta go get to the bags.
But right now, we not talking about real life,
we want to talk about who hustles the hardest
in social media.
Our next category is Social Hustle.
These nominees are the influencers
who turn their social media into real life bags
and were able to transform their followers into dollars,
proving that it's not how you start,
it's how you finish and how many bags you collect along the way.
Yes! That's a fact.
So we have Blame It on Kway, Jay Versace,
Lala Milan, Supa Cent, and Shiggy.
Shiggy is a household digital name.
Like In My Feelings-
That's a strong statement-
No, that ... it's a fact. ... but it's true.
I'm standing tall next to that statement
because we saw white people doing the dance,
Asians doing the dance, this was a United Nations type of mission
with the In My Feelings challenge, you know?
But he still kept it gully, he still kept it Queens.
I just felt like he was
one of the most ubiquitous influencers of 2018.
Ubiquitous, come on word! Yes, SAT.
Did he maximize the moment?
I can spell it too.
You know what, aye, look, I believe you.
You know, I do agree with Shiggy
but I definitely wanna give spotlights to Jay Versace
who like really kinda ... he's taking the social media,
he got a Sprite deal, you know what I'm saying?
He has a show on YouTube
that like a lot of stars have already been on
so he's getting a lot of co-signs.
He's very funny and he's making inspirational content,
he makes dance, like very versatile
so we can't forget that.
But it's very undeniable to talk about social media
impact this year and leave out Shiggy.
I mean, the Drake co-sign, you know,
he does a wonderful Stephen A. Smith impersonation, you know?
The spit is extra juicy, it's right there, you know?
But he's very good and I think people are gonna start
seeing him outside of just the dance challenge,
at least I hope 'cause he's very talented.
Can you come off of that?
Aye, that's the thing.
And that's the challenge right now with Shiggy,
you know, just to piggyback off of everyone's
saying like it's undeniable.
I mean, the guy, he flipped a dance
and then you saw him on Good Morning America,
you saw him at Madison Square Garden
with Drake doing the dance. I mean-
And the video, all up in the video.
... he was all up in the videos, you know.
So he definitely maximized his moment.
But you also gotta give props to a person like Kway, man.
I mean, he's so good at what he's doing
that I forget that that's not him in real life.
But I see him in his regular clothes,
I'm like who's this guy?
And then when I saw him with Janet Jackson,
I'm like okay, this guy's a riot.
Right. And two spin off shows, I mean, he has his own show,
the dating show of him and a character
which really pushed the boundaries here
which is a man dressed as a woman,
wouldn't even really call it trans
with a dating show featuring men.
And then of course the Tyler Perry, his sponsorship deals,
his spin off deals, makeup, and the Janet feature.
Like you can't ... that's a hustle right there.
Not as a hustle, that's also undeniable.
I mean, you got a lot of people out here
that are revolutionizing what the game is and how you arrive.
Yes, but also Supa Cent.
She embodies her name from moving metrics into money
without a co-sign, you know, without a dance, without nudity.
She was able to take her makeup and sell a million
in under an hour, I believe it was.
Under an hour, a million sold without needing Kris Jenner
to put her into position, you know?
But also a lot of these dudes and women,
they make money together.
Like we have really seen how collaboration,
there's strength in numbers literally and figuratively
so they killing it.
It takes a village.
And shout out to Lala, boomerang,
a big show crossing over into serious episodic TV work.
I mean, hey, they are hustling. Shoot.
They are.
You can't deny it.
Let's hope we got our jobs, okay?
They taking ours.
They ain't gone take me from this couch.
Hell no, we won't go.
Now one thing we have to talk about,
I know this is gonna be
one of our toughest discussions and topics
but that is what was the top social moment of 2018?
Now, these are the pop culture moments
that completely broke the internet,
they left us talking then, we're still talking about it.
And they could probably resurface in 2019.
We got Black Panther, Wakanda forever.
We got Beychella, the Drizzy Drake versus Pusha T.,
Who is the King of R&B, and the In My Feelings Challenge.
What was the biggest social moment of 2018?
One?
I'm going with Black Panther. I'm going with Black Panther,
I just think it was such a monumental moment,
everybody came dressed to the nines
in their formal kufis and dashikis,
I mean, fathers were coming back in the home.
It was very beautiful like to see black people mobilize
to give all their money to Marvel Studios
and neither here nor there,
but I think the way everything kinda
just formulated around the movie ...
I mean, people were seeing it three, four, five times-
Yes, I've never done that.
... over a billion dollars worldwide,
nominated for an Oscar,
and we support Chadwick still doing this, this right here.
It's a lot of monumental things that kinda made
this like carry over to even now.
Man, I hate Wakanda.
Oh, please!
Don't talk about Wakanda!
So much fiction on this side.
Listen, we would hate Wakanda.
Y'all love Wakanda more than actual countries in Africa.
I saw people go into the movie- Wakanda's real!
... I seen people go into the movie theater
like it was a day in Kwanzaa like what the hell is going on?
Umoja! Umoja be that ... Umoja.
But listen, when you're talking about moments,
we cannot forget about Beyonce, what she did at Coachella.
I mean- Never, never.
HBCU. Yes, HBCU.
I mean, she reinvented what a concert looks like.
I don't even know who's on the bill this year,
I don't even think it matters.
Ariana Grande though.
Okay ... sounds like something you get from Starbucks.
One of my favorite moments is Drake!
Now, I know that the Soulja Boy moment happened in 2019,
but he was so smart that he waited in 2019 to say
that he had the biggest comeback of 2018
just to be the biggest comeback of 2019.
Who's on first? He's that smart!
Who's on first?
Then he came at Tyga, who arguably,
he really should be on the list
because Tyga arguably had one of the best comebacks.
Nobody survives Jenner Kardashians.
He had a song with Nicki Minaj,
he had another song, I mean, ya boy's hot.
He is.
But not hotter than big Draco. Big Draco right here-
He's steaming.
... we don't know, not one song from-
Tyga's still with Young Money.
... in 2019 but he got a deal.
I think he realized the strategy of appealing
to our eyeballs more than our ears.
That's a fact.
So that's the difference between him and Tyga.
Tyga had great songs, but I'm telling you
there's probably some people don't realize
those great songs were made by Tyga.
But you will always remember those antics came from ...
Big Draco!
Big Draco! What up though!
Very true. That's true.
Next question, I need one name, the King of R&B.
You guys are the music authorities,
you've done your research,
you know music like the back of your hand.
Give it to me, who's the king or kings or R&B?
Kick it off, Jameer.
Alright, well look.
Alright, if we talking about overall king,
my man uncle Stevie Wonder has created timeless classics
time and time and time again
and he's created soundtracks that I like.
My mother candidly told me that I was made
to a Stevie Wonder song and I didn't need to hear that
but, you know, I said, I understand.
Hope it wasn't Part Time Lover.
I hope it wasn't! But it would make sense.
Whoo! Different type of couch for that.
Different type of couch, need to lay down for that.
Them type of couch.
But overall for me, I'ma have to go with Jodici,
I think what they did in the 90's has carried over
even now with R&B stars are looking like hip hop stars
with the tattoos and the leather and, you know, just that appeal.
So I gotta go with Jodici, you know,
so shout out to Jodici.
I really wanna be like Beyonce's the king
and is sonning all of y'all,
but I'll stick to testosterone, Terius Nash, The Dream.
A king who creates kings, a king who also creates queens,
that's how you live forever.
That's very true. B.
Dot, give it to me. You know your music.
Don't make me do it.
Ah, come on now, he shall who remain nameless.
Don't make me do it ... gotta go with Robert Kelly.
But hey, most kings get their heads cut off.
Okay, alright.
Yeah. Jay-Z said that one.
I'ma leave it at that.
Robert Kelly's canceled, you gotta say R.
Kelly, don't say Robert Kelly. We know him as the artist.
Well let me pick it up, 'cause after B.
Dot's it's like gosh, you start thinking about the hits
and you don't want to think about the hits.
You know, I'ma give it to,
now he may not be the most legendary,
but for me I really used to enjoy Maxwell.
Maxwell had a lot of good hits, he was strong,
you know, I could go on for days, but-
You love that song Fortunate, right?
... how'd you know?
R. Kelly wrote it.
Yeah, yeah! And then life got a little bit deep, huh?
And the award for the most not to be trusted goes to ...
Now I have to ask you guys this, right?
We just talked about the biggest moments in 2018
from social to music and a lot more,
but what are your predictions for 2019?
What do you think socially is gonna really take off?
I'm getting saucy.
Let's see, I think men are really gonna embrace
more of these lace front wigs, yeah.
I really think so.
No, I'm with you on that, seriously. You laughing now ...
It's a part of feminism,
like if feminism is equality for both sexes, genders,
however you wanna put it, then you might need to let ...
you know how we borrow our man's like hoodies,
you might need to plop this ...
What?
I'm only saying it's absurd 'cause you got all yours.
Wait until that middle or that front go ...
Yeah. But also like prepared or not,
you might get a sale while you have it.
It's more expensive when you got less.
I think we'll get more in depth with cancel culture
and we'll actually figure out like what does it actually mean
and how to properly apply it
because unfortunately it's gone be
a lot more people going down in 2019.
And I think like this R. Kelly thing is just like the start,
I didn't wanna say the Ignition,
but it's just the Ignition to what the bigger problem is,
which is good but we gone have to figure out
what's gonna happen with all these people
providing maybe soundtracks and movies
and shows to your our lives.
Because part two in a sense,
we have to see how that Michael Jackson documentary is gonna be.
That's supposed to be a bombshell, so ...
Very true. B. Dot, what's your prediction for 2019?
I think we're gonna see more meltdowns on IG Live
and other live services.
And also, I think we're gonna see more bad selfies.
And hopefully we'll see like less gang culture.
I feel like 2018, there was a lot of cautionary tales,
I think the biggest one being Tekashi 6ix9ine
and everything that he's going through.
So hopefully people won't be self-snitching.
Yeah, just be soft.
I hope they were taking notes,
you guys gave a lot of good tips for 2019.
Well thank you so much to my all star panel,
we got the legendary Mr. B.
Dot, we got the one and only Tracy G.
and my guy, the youngest in charge, Jameer Pond.
And I'm Jamila Mustafa and this is the Trophy Room.
