Director Lee Daniels and his significant other Jahil Fisher attended the 2016 BET Honors in Washington DC. Daniels credited R&B legend Patti LaBelle with helping him kick his drug habit. “I called her up one night at three o’clock in the morning. (I was) babbling, babbling, babbling. I was high as a kite,” Daniels recalled. “She said, ‘Lee, do you know Jesus?’” Daniels addressed Ms. LaBelle personally, saying: “La, that I’m even here with you tonight, when you were responsible for me getting off drugs, I love you.”

Tristan if you were 5 years older!!
T’acheItEzee15

Well, I wish I could say everyone looks nice, but uhm..I’m not going to name names. Tristan Wilds is on his grown man status.

All the women look amazing!! I love Monica’s get-up. She looks like a baby doll.
harley_quinn2.0

Everyone looks great. Janelle is beautiful. Love her ??
Let Your Soul Glow

I love Janelle Monae, such a pretty girl and I like her music vibe. Monica and Toni’s dresses…ugh. Giselle is pretty, but she has such a funky attitude to me. Kyemha, I like your hair, but not so much your dress this time. Lee Daniel’s boyfriends hair…**snickers**
Cricket404

Everyone looks fab, even Toni sucking in her stomach. Gizelle is a Creole by way of Louisiana and Texas, she reminds me of Mrs. Tina, Beyonce Gizelle Knowles mama.
PhenomenalWomanThatIsMe

Are those plugs??
Let Your Soul Glow

Agreed. She looks like a younger Tina.
harley_quinn2.0

How old is he? Tell me at least 25.
Let Your Soul Glow

His hair? Dunno, but that flip…that is the style you get so you can constantly, dramatically flip your hair back. Amusing to me.
iWasteTime

I think he is 25 or 26.
But I’m ….I just need him to be 30 … lmao!
Vonn

Lee’s boyfriend reminds me of Leon playing Little Richard with that damn hair. Wooo
iWasteTime

She said, ‘Lee, do you know Jesus?’”
————————–
She didn’t. She smooth cussed your azz out .. lol
Let Your Soul Glow

Ha! YES!!!!!! And now that I think about it, Leon stayed playing a famous singer, Lil Richard, David Ruffin. If he’d have played Eddie Kane Jr., he’d have the trifecta! LOL!
Let Your Soul Glow

Nah, you can be a super cougar!
Let Your Soul Glow

You know she did! She cussed him first and then led him to Christ. LOL!
iWasteTime

BOL!!!
there levels to it ?!!?
Vonn

Listen, I’ve been crying laughing since she posted this pic. Today is a good day.
harley_quinn2.0

He’s old enough to do whatever in my book??
Let Your Soul Glow

Always! If you’re 40 and you’re messing with someone who’s 30, then you’re technically a cougar, but only a base level cougar, but if you’re 40 and he’s 20-25, then you’re a super cougar! LOL! Don’t try and figure out my logic, just nod your head and laugh! LOL!!!!
Kanyade

I love seeing “The Wire” alumnus doing great things. Tristan is such a cutie and looks sharp in his suit.
Milani

Tristan looks very handsome in that suit. I love a man in a well tailored suit.

Fantasia looks nice and I like the bottom half of Khemas dress.

I dont think Micah just has a drug problem. I think its some bipolar disorder/various mental issues in there and they go hand in hand. A LOT of Bipolar people abuse drugs and alcohol really bad.
