Janet Jackson will not only receive the inaugural and def­in­itely not made up for the occasion Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual award (!) at the forth­com­ing BET Awards, she'll also have a tribute paid to her by Ciara, Tinashe and Jason 'Jason Derulo' Derulo.

Exact details of this tribute are scarce, and it's not known whether Ms Jackson will herself be per­form­ing, but what we do know is that BET’s president of pro­gram­ming, Stephen G Hill is quite excited by it all. It's going to be a big night for Stephen!

"This is Janet Jackson, people! We are excited beyond belief to present her with our inaugural ULTIMATE ICON: Music Dance Visual award and we are thrilled that she chose the BET Awards as the first step on her new road.”

He continued: “An inspir­a­tion to many other artists, ‘Ms. Jackson’ (‘cause I’m nasty) blends music, dance and visuals in unique and ground­break­ing ways and we look forward to cel­eb­rat­ing her storied history…As well as giving the BET Awards audience a peek into her Unbreakable future."

So there we go. The awards take place on June 28 at 8pm EST, so it's one of those 'check YouTube the next morning' jobs.
