Janet Jackson to receive Ultimate Icon BET Award

Janet Jackson will be honoured with a special prize at this year's BET Awards.

The singer - who is in the throes of a comeback - will receive the Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual award at the event in Los Angeles on June 28.

Jason Derulo, Tinashe and Ciara will take part in a dance tribute to Jackson's career.

BET president Stephen G Hill commented: "An inspiration to many other artists, 'Ms. Jackson' ('cause I'm nasty) blends music, dance and visuals in unique and groundbreaking ways and we look forward to celebrating her storied history...as well as giving The BET Awards audience a peek into her 'Unbreakable' future."

Jackson is due to embark on her Unbreakable world tour later this year.

She also recently debuted the comeback track 'No Sleeep'.
