Angela Bassett made the perfect reference to Ariana DeBose's BAFTAs rap at NAACP Image Awards
Among her awards, Bassett was honored with the entertainer of the year award at the ceremony on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California. When she got on stage, the 64-year-old actor took a moment to reference, beginning her speech with, “I guess Angela Bassett did the thing!”
Bassett credited film directors John Singleton, Spike Lee, Kevin Rodney Sullivan and"Black Panther" co-writer and director Ryan Cooler, who she said “showed us that we are royalty.” During the event, she was also photographed with Viola Davis, another actor who received a shoutout from DeBose during her BAFTAs rap.
