Floyd Mayweather Jr. had his mouth shut tightly by Rihanna at the 2015 BET Awards on Sunday, June 28. She had a handy roll of metallic duct tape with her when she sat next to him at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California. The BET Awards celebrate achievements by African American celebrities in music, television, films, sports, and videos.

The American boxer had both hands clasped together as he looked desperately towards Rihanna. Rihanna gave a whimsical sideways glance but did not utter a single word after taping Mayweather's mouth shut. She flashed a quick smile. Earlier in the night, fans were wondering why the singer had a roll of duct tape around her left wrist like a bracelet.

"Money" is a nominee at the 2015 Road to the BET Awards for the Sportsman of the Year award. He is amongst four other nominees; Chris Paul, Lebron James, Marshawn Lynch, and Stephen Curry. Rihanna is a nominee for the Best Female R&B/Pop Artist award. The other four female music artists who were nominated for the award are Beyonce, Janelle Monae, Jhene Aiko, and Ciara.

Rihanna wore a gold metallic outfit with sparkly jewels to accessorize her look. She styled her hair up in a ponytail. Mayweather wore a white blazer and a multi-colored checkered button-up shirt. He accessorized his outfit with a pink satin handkerchief in his left blazer pocket.
