Grammy Award-winning artist Estelle will perform her hit song "Conqueror" (the lead single from her new album True Romance) as a special duet with Jussie Smollett at UNCF An Evening of Stars(r). A hallmark of African American superstars supporting minority education for 36 years, the show will be hosted by Anthony Anderson and will air April 26th on BET Network at 10p/9c. "Conqueror" (PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvvimH5_Ap4>) became the biggest-selling song on iTunes after the duet version of the song aired last week during FOX's hit show Empire.  Performed by Estelle (who guest starred as Delphine) and Jussie Smollett (who plays Jamal), "Conqueror" (Empire Remix) claimed the #1 spot on the iTunes Hip-Hop Songs Chart and a Top 3 spot on the iTunes Overall Songs Chart. Entertainment Weekly called it "shining, triumphant" while People gushed "it is the jam we cannot get out of our heads."

She will join Annie Lennox, Harry Belafonte, Oscar winner Laura Poitras, Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy), Piper Kerman (Author of Orange is the New Black), MTV World GM Nusrat Durrani and Amnesty International USA Executive Director Steven W.
