In a video tweet where she was dancing to Teni Entertainer’s Case, singing word for word, she apologized to the organizers for her absence.
She wrote: “Thank you #NAACPImageAwards for the Best Actress award for #UsMovie!! I am honoured and deeply proud to be part of your community. Here’s a dance to show you how this makes me feel!”
According to Dayton Daily News, Beyoncé was the big winner at Friday night’s non-televised gala, winning six awards, including outstanding female artist and album.
The NAACP gave its Chairman’s Award, which goes to people who show exemplary public service and “create agents of change,” to civil rights legend U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia.
“The NAACP has been like a bridge over troubled waters,” Lewis, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, said in a pre-taped acceptance speech from Washington.
“We’re going to have some more troubled waters, and we’re going to need the NAACP.”
Rihanna received the NAACP President’s Award for special achievement and distinguished public service. She called for racial, religious and cultural unity during her acceptance speech.
“If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that we can only fix this world together,” Rihanna said. “We can’t do it divided.”
Lizzo leads the nominees for the night’s biggest award, entertainer of the year, to be handed out later Sunday. She will be competing against Tyler Perry, Regina King, Billy Porter, and Angela Bassett.

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. #jaiyeorie ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
