2024 BET Awards: Taraji P. Henson Returns as Host, Usher Receives Lifetime Achievement Award, and a Star-Studded Lineup of Performers and Nominees

The 2024 BET Awards, hailed as 'culture's biggest night,' are set to take place on June 30 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Taraji P. Henson will return as the host for the third time, having previously served in that role for the 2021 and 2022 awards shows.

The event is packed with an impressive lineup of performers, including Lauryn Hill and her son YG Marley, Childish Gambino, Ice Spice, Tyla, Chlöe, Coco Jones, Keke Palmer, Marsha Ambrosius, Summer Walker, GloRilla, Latto and Muni Long. Will Smith will also make an appearance to perform a new song.

Usher is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award during the ceremony. The R&B superstar has had an impressive career with eight Grammy wins and recently ended his two-year Las Vegas residency, 'Usher: My Way' at the Park MGM. In February, he released his first solo album in eight years.

The nominees for the 2024 BET Awards include Drake, who leads with seven nominations; Nicki Minaj with six; and J. Cole, SZA and best new artist Grammy winner Victoria Monét with five each. Other notable nominees include Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion and Tyla.

The BET Awards will air live on BET from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. Eastern and will simulcast on Comedy Central, Logo, MTV, MTV2, Pop, TV Land, Nickelodeon at Nite and VH1.

Will Smith recently released a new song titled 'You Can Make It,' marking his first major music release since 2017's 'Get Lit.' The rapper collaborated with Fridayy and the Sunday Service choir on the track, which contains uplifting lyrics encouraging listeners to keep going through difficult times. Smith references dealing with past personal battles, possibly alluding to the Oscars slap incident with Chris Rock.

The BET Awards will also feature presenters such as Andra Day, Colman Domingo, DC Young Fly, Devale Ellis, Jay Ellis and Jessica Betts. Stay tuned for more coverage of this year's BET Awards.
