Did you know that Whitney Houston was the first artist to be given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards?
The icon was honored at the 1st installment of the annual ceremony in 2001. Several of music’s biggest names paid tribute to Houston including songwriter Babyface and Christina Aguilera who performed the diva’s classic hit ‘Run To You’.
