Even though it was 16 years ago, comments are still being made on the YouTube video of the event.

Beyonce has an incredible effect on stage. We’re talking about the lady who, despite having a bleeding ear injury, insisted on performing during a lightning storm, and who, when expecting her first child with Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, danced nonstop at the 2011 VMAs. She even performed a song flawlessly even with her hair jammed in a fan. In addition, she performed a live song while pregnant on a chair that was tilted 45 degrees backward, risking her life to sing for us and her twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, as if her 2011 baby bump reveal concert wasn’t enough.

The Most Iconic BET Awards Moments

The 28-time Grammy winner is without a doubt one of the all-time great performers. As a part of the original Destiny’s Child, a group consisting of four girls, Beyonce was already gaining attention before these well-known solo performances. On stage, she’s always been amazing. Truly, there was an instance where she had effectively taken Terrence Howard’s breath away. Fans haven’t stopped talking about it up until now. Even though the YouTube video was posted 16 years ago, comments about it continue to be made, highlighting the funny response of the Empire actor to Queen Bey’s appearance.This is what actually took place.

Live Performance of Destiny’s Child at the 2005 BET Awards

In 2004, Destiny’s Child released their seductive R&B single, “Cater 2 U.” Men in particular were fond of the song’s message at the time. It’s about these stunning women giving their all to serve their guys and make them happy anytime they please… Naturally, many people are no longer happy with it after 17 years. The lyrics, which include the phrases “My life would be purposeless without you” and “When you come home late / tap me on my shoulder / I’ll roll over,” are being used by fans as justification for trying to have it cancelled. However, at the time, neither men nor women found it objectionable, particularly when the group performed it at the 2005 BET Awards.

The girls’ sophisticated brown nude outfits accentuated their contours. They were all incredibly beautiful. Commenters on YouTube concurred, saying, “Beyoncé was a different type of fine right here.” Consequently, the gals working it up there captured the attention of the entire audience. Before the trio began searching for three fortunate men to accompany them on stage for that “catering” special, everyone fell silent. Terrence Howard was seated next to Beyoncé’s parents when they were taken. Kelly Rowland grabbed Nelly, her co-singer on Dilemma. After that, Michelle Williams eventually married Magic Johnson, a former NBA player. T.I. was scheduled to accompany Williams, but he was arrested a few hours before the awards ceremony.

When Beyoncé taught him a lap dance, Terrence Howard went completely insane.

The three women performed a sophisticated lap dance to adorn the stage. Howard took it seriously, even though Nelly and Johnson were all smiles. At first, he was also grinning, but after a minute, he was simply mesmerized. Up there, he was going to lose it. According to fans, “When they ended the show Terrence still was shocked he didn’t even laugh he wanted [Beyonce] so bad.” Yes, that’s exactly how it seemed. “Terrence was willing to take a big chance,” stated an additional analyst. The greatest way to describe the moment seen in the photo below was provided by a fan, who wrote, “[Terrence] literally had to start praying after she put that leg over him.” God bless the soul of this man, then.

Also, Rowland and Nelly’s cuteness won over many admirers. “Whoa, Kelly messed up the choreography because she was so into it. One person wrote, “My girl didn’t know left from right.” The two were allegedly dating back then, but they have both vehemently refuted the rumors. Johnson’s response also struck the fans as amusing. “Magic was smiling so much, that brutha is going to get LOCKJAW,” one of them exclaimed.Everyone appeared to have had a good time. Howard maintained a serious stance throughout the performance, but as the song came to a close, Beyonce requested the audience to applaud the men, which made her chuckle a little nervously. Though it was all professional for her, she was aware of what she had done to the unfortunate man.

Terrence Howard’s Remarks Regarding the Lap Dance

Howard was questioned about the lap dance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen eight years after the awards ceremony.The actor responded with a nine when asked how he would grade Beyonce’s lap dance abilities. However, he claimed that her “spirit and her intent” elevated it to a hundred. The Pride actor also disclosed that he has previously attempted to speak with the Halo singer.

Regretfully, he claimed he lost the chance since, despite their previous glances, he ended up striking up a conversation with her companion. Howard claimed that throughout the lap dance, Beyoncé was revealing to him what he was lacking. He certainly took the message hard.

Cohen inquired further about Howard’s relationship with the Run the World singer following that evening. He refused, claiming that if he attempted, Jay-Z would murder him. Mrs. Carter had been seeing the rapper for almost four years at that point. Later in 2008, they were married. Despite Jay-Z’s notorious “Becky with the good hair” adultery scandal, which surfaced in Queen B’s sixth solo album, Lemonade, in 2016, they’re still enamored.
