While fans, and authorities, have been struggling to make sense of why he died (the medical examiner officially concluded last week that it was from an overdose of "self-administered fantanyl," a powerful painkiller he reportedly took to ease his hip and ankle pains), BET is focusing on celebrating his incredible life and unparalleled contributions to music.

So, stay tuned for the big announcement in a couple of days, and see the show live at the BET Awards on Sunday, June 26 at 8PM/7C!
