The 2022 BET Awards will no doubt go down as one of the most exciting nights in music! Kicking off in Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater this evening (June 26) and hosted by the one and only Taraji P. Henson, fans are in store for a star-studded performance lineup.

BET will welcome some of the hottest acts in entertainment for the ceremony. Chlöe, Latto, Givēon, Ella Mai, Muni Long, Saucy Santana, Capella Grey and more are slated to perform tonight. Equally exciting, living legends Diddy, Mary J. Blige, The LOX, Lil Kim and Faith Evans will hit the stage, too.

As previously reported by REVOLT, Sean “Diddy” Combs will receive BET’s coveted Lifetime Achievement Award as a part of the show. To celebrate Diddy’s excellence and incomparable contribution to the culture, the aforementioned OGs and several other famous faces will perform an all-star tribute fans won’t want to miss.

Of course, the nominees in tonight’s categories also have fans hyped to watch. Chlöe, Ari Lennox, Doja Cat, H.E.R., Mary J. Blige, Summer Walker and Jazmine Sullivan are going up against one another for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist. Elsewhere, City Girls, Lil Durk and Lil Baby, Migos, Silk Sonic, Chloe x Halle, and Young Dolph and Key Glock are all nominated for Best Group. It’ll also be interesting to see who takes Best New Artist this year. We’ll have to wait to find out but one thing’s for certain — the competition is stiff!
