The outlet disclosed that Chloe Bailey, Childish Gambino, Keke Palmer, Summer Walker, Marsha Ambrosius, and Coco Jones will also hit the stage.

In addition to the newly announced performers, the event already features an electrifying lineup, including Megan The Stallion, GloRilla, Ice Spice, Latto, Ms. Lauryn Hill, YG Marley, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Tyla, and Victoria Monét.

PEOPLE also revealed that the all-star lineup includes a highly anticipated performance by Will Smith. He will make his official return to the stage with his new solo song in five years.

More Details About The BET Awards
The 2024 BET Awards will air live on Sunday, June 30th at 8 p.m. EST to honor Black entertainers.

Taraji P. Henson will host the event for the third consecutive year, and Usher will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his ever-growing musical legacy.

Usher had an exceptional year, and this recognition from BET is truly deserved. In February, he lit up the stage at the Apple Music halftime show during Super Bowl LVII. Adding to his achievements, he also dropped his ninth studio album, ‘Coming Home,’ during that same month.

His viral rap beef with Kendrick Lamar aside, Drake leads with seven nominations. His eighth studio album, ‘For All The Dogs,’ is nominated for Album of the Year. He is also nominated for his music video ‘First Person Shooter’ featuring J. Cole.

Nicki Minaj is second on the list with six nominations. Her ‘Pink Friday 2’ project is also in contention for Album of the Year. Two of her nods are for the song ‘Barbie World’ with Ice Spice from the ‘Barbie’ soundtrack. Additionally, Victoria Monét secured five nominations at this year’s ceremony.
