Foxx

Ultimate icon awards, for achievement in music, entertainment, advocacy and community impact, were also handed out to musicians Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and Kirk Franklin, along with actor Jamie Foxx.

Foxx accepted his award from Stevie Wonder, and spoke about his recovery after having a stroke in 2023.

The BET Ultimate Icon Award will be given Monday night to Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey, Kirk Franklin and Snoop Dogg, multi-hyphenates all, who will be honored for their decades of groundbreaking contributions to music, entertainment, advocacy and community impact.

Political strategist and content creator Deja Foxx is hoping to spearhead that revolution in Arizona this summer.

At times with tears in her eyes as she recalled stories of people who've told her her campaign has galvanized them, Foxx spoke with Salon about why she decided to run for Congress, the challenges of being a young, progressive candidate, and how she's building a campaign strategy model that will work for young working-class people in a political landscape stacked against them.
