Janelle Monáe had some blunt words and coarse sign language for the US Supreme Court on Sunday while presenting onstage at the BET Awards in Los Angeles.
'**** you, Supreme Court,' said Monáe, 36, while raising her middle finger in response to the high court's recent abortion case ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
Monáe after being introduced by host Taraji P. Henson, 52, said it was 'amazing' to be at the Microsoft Theater 'celebrating us.'
'Happy Black Music Month, happy Pride to us, all the gays in the house, hello,' said Monáe, who came out in April as non-binary on the Red Table Talk.
'Anyway, I'd like to give a special, special shout out to Black women, to Black queer artists, to Black nonbinary artists. These artists making art on our own terms, owning our truths and expressing ourselves freely and unapologetically in a world that tries to control and police our bodies, my body, and our decisions, my decisions,' Monáe said before cursing out the Supreme Court.
Monáe went on to say that artists 'must celebrate our art by protecting our rights and our truths'.
She then presented the award for Best Female R&B Pop Artist to Jazmine Sullivan, 35.

Does she kiss her auntie-momma with that mouth? What an inbred fool.
I for one am pleased as punch over the left making a scene and burning their bridges with the U.S. Supreme Court.
Another nobody liberal celebrity wannabe I never heard of. Abort YOURSELF princess. It would make the world a better place.
Never heard of her. I’m pretty sure I’ll forget her name by the time I take the laundry out of the dryer and go to bed. Good night all. Good night Janet.
"Sounds like some overpriced perfume"
How about just a shout out to Black women and artists without mentioning their sexual orientation?
Where did this incapability of handling the inevitable disappointments in life of theirs come from? Do they feel entitled to never have to face the music? Sorry kids, you’re not all that special!
Ah, but Rita K. Campbell had supportive words and a thumbs up for the Supreme Court, so THERE.
Petulant children, the whole lot of them.
Still another whiny self-absorbed person I’ve never heard of. The arrogance of these people, believing that they’re relevant.
Re reading Revelation in the Bible recently and it is looking like a check list to end times. Good Lord, how we have fallen fast the last 10 years.
She is non-binary, so she is not a she...or a he? What a confused person she is!
“When she wants to be joyful she can arrange that kind of music score.”
Perhaps, but she’s a long, long way from being up there with a Ray Charles, Frank Zappa or Walter Becker.
