Y’all ain’t ready for the @betawards on @cbstv & @bet tomorrow night! Quick peek of my tribute to Little Richard conceived by me and directed by @mandietaketa. @jasonmichaelfordham and his brother, @demetriusfordham shot and lit the whole thing. Thank you for the help @tinagauld! @marcelwilson & @mrkwilson78 with the choreo assisted by @nasirwashere1. @tarragreen & @taylorbanks39 are 2 of the dopest dancers I’ve seen in a long time! I’m so proud to have a team like this and of our final product. If we can do this in my living room and kitchen, just wait til we get on a sound stage! I truly hope Little Richard would be proud.

One day prior to the prime-time three-hour television event, Wayne Brady (host of CBS’s Let’s Make a Deal) gave his fans a sneak peek (above) at his Little Richard tribute and wrote: “Y’all ain’t ready.”

Tony Award winner and four-time Grammy Award nominee R&B songstress Melba Moore replied: “I’ll be watching Wayne,” and Big Daddy Kane wrote: “LET’s GO!!!!”

RIP Little Richard. Thank you @americansoulbet for the opportunity to play him while he was alive to see. I’d been lucky to have crossed paths with him a few times and work with him. His voice, his humor, his bravery. An amazing man and performer. Comfortable in his own skin, no matter who said what, in a time when it could get you killed. He was the true King of Rock and Roll!
