We told you about the ladies who shut down the red carpet at the BET Awards this year. We also showed you all the couples who packed on the PDA upon their arrival at the show. What we can’t leave out though are the stars who made a different statement by attending the show with their family members in tow. Who needs a boo as a date when you can celebrate with your family?

Stars who showed up with their loved ones include rapper Saweetie, a presenter at the show, whose dad Johnny is something of a star on social media due to his good looks.
