BET<\/a>\u00a0will celebrate Mother’s Day with DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic: BET Mother’s Day Edition<\/em>,\u00a0on\u00a0Sunday, May 9th<\/sup>\u00a0at\u00a09 pm ET\/PT. Breaking away from tradition for this special event – DJ Cassidy has revealed the names of two artists in advance of the premiere for the first time in Pass The Mic<\/em> history. In celebration of mothers around the world, DJ Cassidy has exclusively confirmed that he will pass the mic to “The Godmother of Soul,”\u00a0Patti LaBelle<\/a>\u00a0and R&B icon and New Edition member,\u00a0Johnny Gill<\/a>.
\u00a0BET Mother’s Day Special<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this Mother’s Day special, over a dozen other surprise legendary artists will join LaBelle and Gill in this joyous celebration of mothers and women worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This special was designed to make you feel good. It was crafted to send chills down your spine, put goosebumps on your arms, and fill your heart with warmth,” said DJ Cassidy. “The artists and songs I’ve assembled for this show exude love, light, and inspiration, and together, we will uplift all those who take part in the celebration. This edition of ‘Pass Of Mic’ is dedicated to all the mothers and women around the world who make our world go round.”\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

DJ Cassidy and BET have transformed how we experience music through the Pass The Mic<\/em>\u00a0series. The DJ spins from his turntables in his living room, connecting virtually and intimately with R&B and Hip-Hop icons, as they sing along seamlessly to their classic records, each “passing the mic” to the next artist. The result is an emotionally uplifting, technologically innovative musical\u00a0event. DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic<\/em>\u00a0specials have now featured more than one hundred legendary superstars including\u00a0Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, Nile Rodgers, Sister Sledge, Kool & The Gang, George Clinton, El Debarge, New Edition, Boyz II Men, Teddy Riley, En Vogue, TLC, SWV, LL Cool, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Salt ‘N Pepa, Missy Elliot, Wyclef Jean,\u00a0and countless others.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This special comes on the heels of BET and DJ Cassidy’s partnership to produce six DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>specials throughout 2021. The first installment, DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic: The BET After Party<\/em> followed the 52nd<\/sup>\u00a0NAACP Image Awards on March 27th to overwhelming online hysteria.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
