R&B singer Muni Long opened the 2022 BET Soul Train Awards with a bizarre off-key performance.
The 34-year-old’s started off fine, when she began with her undeniable hit, “Hrs & Hrs,” while sitting in bed with her man before he walks off. As the R&B singer grabs his phone, she transitions into a bizarre emotional performance of her new track “Plot Twist.”
DC Young Fly joined the GRAMMY nominee on stage to push the visual narrative forward. As the Vero Beach, Fla. artist seemed to reach a resolution with another woman, she transitioned back to the ending of “Hrs & Hrs” to finish off the dramatic set.
Just minutes later, she appeared in The Soul Cypher alongside Durand Bernarr, Alex Vaughn, and Tasha Cobbs Leonard to the beat of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature.”
The whole thing was bizarre, especially since Muni Love was off key for most of the performance:
She also took home the evening’s first prize, The Ashford & Simpson Songwriters Award.
Muni Long’s first GRAMMY nomination came on H.E.R’s 2021 debut album Back Of My Mind, with songwriting credits on the record “Process.” She also wrote on records like Rihanna’s “California King Bed,” Ariana Grande’s “Imagine,” and Pitbull and Kesha’s “Timber” before forging her own career as a solo artist.
