Here’s How Latto Scored Usher’s Original ‘U’ Chain for 2024 BET Awards Lifetime Achievement Tribute

Latto explains how she got a hold of Usher's "U" chain for her tribute to the icon at the 2024 BET Awards. See what she said.

Ever since her 2020 Billboard 200-charting debut studio album Queen of da Souf, Latto has always made one thing abundantly clear: she loves her hometown of Atlanta, GA. As one of ATL’s hottest current stars, it’s no surprise that she was a part of BET’s Lifetime Achievement tribute performance to A-Town’s very own Usher. At the 2024 BET Awards, the “Big Mama” rapper performed a career-spanning medley of Usher’s defining hits alongside a star-studded line-up of artists, including Childish Gambino, Keke Palmer, Coco Jones, Summer Walker, Tinashe, Chlöe, Marsha Ambrosius, Teyana Taylor and Victoria Monét. Mere weeks before the BET Awards, Latto brought out Usher as a special guest during her set at WHTA (Hot 107.9) Birthday Bash, where she made history as their first female headliner.
