Teyana Taylor is set to receive the Icon of the Year award at the 2026 BET Awards, honored by Janet Jackson, following her performance alongside Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium and her involvement in a new Air Jordan 16 collaboration. She has also been named a presenter for the 2026 MTV VMAs alongside Charli XCX and Belmont Cameli, and her Air Jordan 3 'Concrete Rose' has resurfaced with a new sample. Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith corrected earlier false claims about her divorce, and she attended the Knicks parade wearing a Spike Lee-designed Jumpman shirt.
