Popsugar Entertainment Donald Glover Donald Glover and Jamie Foxx 2018 BET Performance Video BET Awards: Donald Glover Joins Jamie Foxx For a Surprise Performance of "This Is America" 25 June 2018 by Quinn Keaney Image Source: Getty / Leon Bennett At this point, we should all be used to semi-awkward award show moments. We survived the 2017 Oscars, didn't we? Well, luckily the BET awards were mostly free of any cringe-worthy moments, and instead featured some seriously sexy performances. However, there were a few interactions between host Jamie Foxx and nominee Donald Glover that had Twitter ablaze. After cracking a few jokes at Glover's expense ("They say he's a young me, but I say he's better looking"), Foxx decided to strike a more serious note as he began an off-script speech about the importance of Glover's hit song, "This Is America." "That song should not be joked about," the Robin Hood actor told the crowd. "This young man, Childish Gambino, Donald Glover — singer, songwriter, philanthropist, movie star, overall badass . . . A true artist. I wanna acknowledge you." Foxx proceeded to bring a very surprised Glover up on stage, and after sharing a few words, they performed a few verses of "This Is America" for the BET awards audience. Naturally people watching had plenty to say about the moment, so check out the performance and Twitter's reaction to it all ahead. .@DonaldGlover will forever be the GOAT. #BETAwards pic.twitter.com/c61CSuiHpo— #BETAwards (@BETAwards) June 25, 2018 1 / 15 REAL love to Jamie for recognizing Donald Glover. #BETAwards— Dominique Byrd (@TheRealDByrd) June 25, 2018 2 / 15 Donald Glover every time Jaime Foxx mentions his name #BETAwards pic.twitter.com/fqRGtpmYa0— taylor ryan moore (@__taylormoore) June 25, 2018 3 / 15 Donald Glover right now LMAOOOOOOOO #BETAwards pic.twitter.com/BMUAymL3oI— 💜 (@xbellvrcity) June 25, 2018 4 / 15 Jamie: Aye come up here and do the thing!Michael B & Donald Glover: #BETAwards pic.twitter.com/T0jRZqWdi3— Woo chile... the ghetto!
