Juicy J has recalled that Dolly Parton sent Three 6 Mafia a congratulatory letter after the Memphis rap group beat her for the Best Original Song Oscar in 2006. His comments, made alongside Project Pat on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, have resurfaced amid tributes following Parton’s reported death, highlighting her gracious response to losing.

Three 6 Mafia won for “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” from Hustle & Flow, ahead of Parton’s “Travelin’ Thru” from Transamerica and Kathleen York’s “In the Deep” from Crash. The group became the first hip-hop group to win an Oscar and the first rap act to perform at the ceremony; Juicy J said Parton’s letter celebrated that somebody from Tennessee had won.
