GloRilla and Yung Miami lead the star-studded lineup of performers for this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards. Joining them on stage will be 310babii, 2 Chainz, Big Boogie, Bossman DLow, E-40, Juicy J, Roscoe Dash, Soulja Boy, and Trina.
Fat Joe will host the annual ceremony for the third consecutive year, but with a twist: instead of being held in its usual location in Atlanta, the BET Hip-Hop Awards will take place at Drai’s Nightclub in Las Vegas.
“Joe Crack is back for the three-peat, night night baby,” Fat Joe said in a statement. “It’s been a dream to host the BET Hip-Hop Awards the past few years, and I’m looking forward to taking things to the next level in Las Vegas. We’re going to be in a new city and location, but the excitement and entertainment at the awards will be even bigger than ever.”
From an award perspective, Megan Thee Stallion leads with 12 nominations, followed by Kendrick Lamar with 11 and Drake with eight. Nicki Minaj, GloRilla, Cardi B, and Metro Boomin each received seven nods, while Future and Travis Scott are close behind with six each. Travis Scott, in addition to his nominations, will be honored with the prestigious “I Am Hip Hop Award,” which recognizes his “creative genius, cultural contributions, and incredible talent,” according to BET.
The show will be taped on Tuesday, October 8, and will air a week later on Tuesday, October 15, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on BET.
