Bottoms up! Janelle Monae and host Anthony Anderson flashed their derrieres at the 2016 BET Awards on Sunday night
The 30-year-old singer did one of a number of tribute performances that peppered the awards show, wowing the crowd with an energetic performance of some of Prince's greatest hits.
Running across the stage in a Purple Rain-inspired white outfit with gospel backing singers and sultry dancers, Janelle wowed the crowd.
The singer, who lists Prince as one of her greatest inspirations, had everyone in the audience on their feet dancing to such songs as Delirious, Kiss, Pop Life and I Would Die 4 U.
But the performer turned heads as she dropped her cape to reveal that her white pants had cut-outs on her derriere.

An almost undetectable piece of sheer fabric was all that stood between the star's bottom and the world.
Janelle's exposing look certainly grabbed people's attention, including Jamie Foxx who was caught on camera staring intently at the singer's rear end.
He had a very different reaction just a few minutes later, however.

After Jennelle wrapped her performance, host Anthony walked on stage wearing a very similar white suit complete with ruffled shirt.
The Blackish actor demanded answers from Janelle as he had already said he was wearing the white suit.
While Janelle's was a bit flashier, Anthony's had one important thing in common - it too was ass-less.

Turning around and showing off his bare bottom, the 45-year-old had the audience in hysterics.
Not done there, Anthony kept turning around and shaking his exposed rump as if he was listening to Prince's song Come on which has the line 'Come on baby, shake it now'.
While he was laughing, Jamie looked far less enthused with Anthony's decision to dare to bare as he had been with Janelle's.
To his credit, the actor may have been a bit concerned as Anthony was giving the audience a prolonged eyeful and Jamie's daughter was with him in the audience.

Awkward: While he was laughing, Jamie looked far less enthused with Anthony's decision to dare to bare as he had been with Janelle's, perhaps because his daughter was with him in the audience
Seven-year-old Annalise Foxx did not know where to look as Anthony once again shook his plump derriere.
The ass-less tribute was not just something dreamed up to shock or make people laugh, Prince was known to push the boundaries of what you can do in television with the late star showing off his rear end in an orange jumpsuit at the 1991 VMAs.
Janelle enjoyed a celebratory dinner at celebrity hotspot Mr Chows restaurant in Beverly Hills the same night.
Dressed in a monochrome ensemble the star looked chic as she left the restaurant holding a large bunch of white flowers.
The American songstress wore a coordinating black blazer and trouser combo featuring statement white buttons.
She matched it with a white shirt and large polka dot tie, accessorising with a bold red lip and top hat.
Also remembering the iconic star's life and music with a BET tribute was Erykah Badu, Bilal, The Roots, Maxwell, Stevie Wonder, Tori Kelly, Jennifer Hudson and Prince's former girlfriend and collaborator Sheila E.
