Pop Smoke & Juice WRLD Receive Tributes At “BET Hip Hop Awards”
Last year, Juice WRLD lost his life following a drug overdose and two months later, Pop Smoke was murdered during a home invasion. The loss of two young, talented artists devastated their loved ones and fans, but their art is a staple that continues to bring music lovers together worldwide. At Tuesday (October 27) evening’s BET Hip Hop Awards, the network paid tribute to both artists as collaborators and friends of the rappers came together to remember the late stars. Cordae, G Herbo, and Lil Bibby spoke and the life and music of Chicago’s Juice WRLD while Quavo performed in honor of New York’s Pop Smoke.
“That was really my brother. That was somebody I can have like, real life, genuine conversations with,” said Cordae of Juice. Lil Bibby mentioned how transparent Juice WRLD was about his flaws. “That’s why he got the love that he did,” he said. G Herbo added, “What he left was enough to stay with us for a lifetime.” BET also honored 5th Ward Webbie, A$AP Snacks, Fred The Godson, and Malik B.
The “Shake The Room” and “Aim For The Moon” tribute for Pop Smoke opened with Quavo in an all-white room before it moved to a digital space where BET showcased videos and images of Pop. Check out both clips below and let us know what you think about these two tributes.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
