Janet Jackson will make one of her first public performances in some time Sunday at the BET Awards, weeks after the singer caused Internet frenzies with several announcements about her comeback to music.
Jackson will be honored with the Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, where performers include Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar and cast members of the hit series, “Empire.”
Ciara, Jason Derulo and newcomer Tinashe will pay tribute to 49-year-old Jackson, who released a new song last week and is readying a full album and tour this fall.
Minaj and Brown are the top nominees with six each. Video of the year nominees include Minaj’s eye-popping “Anaconda” as well as the Brown hits, “Loyal” and “New Flame.”
