BET Awards return Sunday

30/6/2024 13:53

        The BET Awards return Sunday night, with a performance-filled show that will kick off with a fiery set from Megan Thee Stallion, two days after the release of her third studio album.
        
        The show, which takes place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, will be hosted by Oscar-nominated actor Taraji P. Henson for a third time.
        
        Performers will include Lauryn Hill and her son YG Marley, Childish Gambino, Ice Spice and Tyla.
        
        Will Smith will perform a new song, though no details were announced. The Grammy and Oscar winner is still emerging from the infamous Oscars slap two years ago, with the successful launch of "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" helping boost his comeback.
        
        Drake leads the nominations, just like he did last year. Those include an album of the year nod for, "For All the Dogs." One of the awards he's up for is the music video for "First Person Shooter," his collaboration with J. Cole that may have been a catalyst for his recent beef with rapper Kendrick Lamar.
