For the final event of Friday, BET Weekend included an event called Acoustically Speaking. This event was a sort of music industry TED Talk, with artists speaking on the music industry from their perspective. Speakers included Lecrae, Jussie Smollet, Gallant, and Luke James, all hosted by Big Tigger. During the event, Luke James and Gallant had a battle to see who could hit the highest high note, and the crowd favorite was Jussie Smollet. Smollet discussed his sexuality, his success from “Empire”, and moving to the indie music scene. For recaps from the rest of BET Weekend, be sure to check back into True Magazine!
