Kevin Hart, Tyla, Kendrick Lamar, Doechii and more will be at the culture’s biggest night. The BET Awards are turning 25 this year, and you already know they’re going to be showing out. Comedian Kevin Hart is back to host the show for the second time, bringing his quick comedic timing, likability and we hope a little playful celebrity roasting. This is Black Hollywood’s biggest night, celebrating the biggest and brightest in the culture. And with any BET celebration, the stars will be hitting the stage with some knockout performances. And this year’s lineup might be the best yet. We’re talking Lil Wayne, Playboi Carti, GloRilla, Leon Thomas and Teyana Taylor, each ready to blow the roof off the Peacock Theater. Oh, and you thought they were finished, nah. Hold up. Wait a minute, because that’s not all. This year’s show will also feature special tributes and appearances you don’t want to miss. Honorees include Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, Kirk Franklin and Mariah Carey, each being celebrated for their massive cultural impact. Speaking of the biggest, when it comes to this year’s nominations, living rap legend Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with a jaw-dropping 10 nods, including album of the year, best male hip hop artist, and video of the year for his smash hit diss track “Not Like Us.”
