According to Yahoo!, singer Prince will be receiving a lifetime achievement award at the BET Awards later this month.

The successful and influential artist, who has released 10 platinum albums and 30 Top 40 singles, joins James Brown, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Al Green and other important African American artists in receiving the honor. BET said that the tribute will reflect and celebrate Prince’s “unique style.”

The BET Awards, hosted by Queen Latifah, will be held on June 27 in Los Angeles.

BET’s choice of honoree resonated with tweeps.
