It has been less than a year since the world lost Michael Eugene Archer, aka D’Angelo. The neo-soul icon died at the mere age of 51 after a prolonged battle with pancreatic cancer. So when his children walked up to the stage for a heartfelt tribute at the 2026 BET Awards, their performance became one of the most emotional moments of the night.
D’Angelo’s daughter, Imani Archer, joined her brothers, Michael Archer Jr. and Morocco Archer, on stage Sunday night to celebrate the Grammy-winning singer’s life and legacy. Their heartfelt introduction set the tone for an all-star musical tribute that honored not only the legendary artist but also the father they cherished.
