Taraji P. Henson Hilariously Spoofs Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' at the BET Awards 2024


The Academy Award-nominated actress returned to host for the third time.

The BET Awards 2024 kicked off with a comedic flair on Sunday evening (June 30) as Taraji P. Henson began her hosting duties with a spoof of Kendrick Lamar's hit "Not Like Us." After a high-energy rock-and-roll performance by Megan Thee Stallion, who dazzled the audience with her hits "Hiss," "BOA," and "Where Them Girls At," Henson took the stage. The Hidden Figures star reworked the song’s hook to seemingly honor the annual celebration of Black excellence in Hollywood, changing the lyrics from "They Not Like Us" to "This About Us."
