Inayah Named BET Amplified Live Artist for March 2025—And She’s About to Eat!

BET Media Group is rolling out the red carpet for Inayah, the R&B singer-songwriter and actress who has been serving soulful vocals, undeniable pen game, and big Southern energy since she stepped on the scene.

As part of its revamped BET Amplified Live platform, the network is giving Inayah the spotlight she deserves in an exclusive live-to-tape performance streaming on March 4, 2025, at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT. Fans can catch the show on BET.com, BET’s official YouTube, and Facebook channels.

And let’s be real—the timing is chef’s kiss. March is Women’s History Month, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by uplifting a dynamic Black woman who is shaking the table in R&B, storytelling, and entertainment.

From Viral Covers to R&B’s Next Superstar: Inayah’s Come-Up

Inayah isn’t new to this—she’s true to this. If you were on social media in the late 2010s, you probably remember when she bodied Ella Mai’s “Boo’d Up” with her own viral remix. That moment took her from 3,000 followers to 1.3 million overnight, catching the attention of music heavyweights like Jamie Foxx and Maxwell. That’s how you make an entrance!

From there, she linked up with EMPIRE and dropped her debut project, S.O.L.A.R. (Storytelling Over Lyrics and Rhymes), proving that her pen was just as lethal as her vocals. The album gave us “Best Thing”, which went RIAA Gold and Platinum and had the girls in their feelings (and probably texting their exes, no judgment).

Now, fast forward to 2024, and Inayah is still applying pressure with her latest album, Wait, There’s More. With a mix of sultry R&B, hard-hitting beats, and deeply personal lyrics, the album has solidified her place as a modern storyteller with an old-school soul.

Breaking Down ‘Wait, There’s More’—Because We Need to Talk About It

If you haven’t streamed Wait, There’s More, fix that immediately. This album is an experience, blending classic R&B influences with Houston-bred swag and a touch of gospel-rooted soul.

Key Tracks That Have Us in a Chokehold

• “For the Streets” – The lead single that had R&B Twitter™ and TikTok in a frenzy. It’s the perfect mix of vulnerability and bad-b*tch confidence.
• “Hot Sauce” – Spicy. Attitude-filled. A bop. What else do you need?
• “Pretty Girls” – A celebration of self-love and beauty in all forms. Consider this your new getting-ready anthem.
• “Pacquiao” – Named after the legendary boxer, this track hits just as hard. Inayah snaps from start to finish.

Between her silky vocals, sharp storytelling, and ability to make heartbreak sound like a flex, this album proves that Inayah isn’t just an artist to watch—she’s an artist you can’t ignore.

Beyond Music: Inayah Is Securing Bags in Hollywood Too

Inayah isn’t stopping at music. She’s been flexing her acting chops as Trina on BET+’s Emmy-nominated The Ms. Pat Show, proving she can bring the drama and the laughs. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s about to make her big-screen debut in Tyler Perry’s upcoming Amazon Studios film, Joy Ridge.

Translation: She’s booked, busy, and unbothered.
