The 25th BET Awards weekend was filled with iconic performances, moving tributes, and unforgettable fashion—but there was one rising star who lit up every room he entered without ever needing a mainstage. His name? King Moore—and if you didn’t know it before, you definitely do now.

At just 9 years old, @kingmoore__ turned the BET Experience and the Awards weekend into his personal playground—earning the unofficial title of Breakout Star of 2025. With fearless charisma and golden vocals to match, King Moore didn't wait for a moment—he created one at every turn.

His voice? Smooth as silk. His energy? Unmatched. His confidence? The kind that only comes from knowing you’re walking in your gift.

When Robi Reed, casting queen and industry gatekeeper, stopped to hear him sing, it was clear this wasn’t just another “cute kid moment.” This was presence. Purpose. Preparation meeting opportunity.

Unscripted Greatness: Moore in Motion

One thing about King Moore—he’s going to go for it. In true fearless fashion, he ran up on some of the biggest names in the building: Babyface, Kevin Hart, and even Tyler Perry—and left each one smiling, surprised, and seriously impressed.
