Fresh off announcing her song for the Disney+ Star Wars series, The Acolyte, “Power Of Two,” and dropping her Kaytranada-produced single “Alright,” Victoria Monét hit the stage at the 2024 BET Awards to perform that song, along with her breakout hit, “On My Mama.” Beginning with the latter and hitting the stage in a sporty, Y2K-era outfit, Monét paid homage to Michael Jackson, donning his iconic “Smooth Criminal” suit, then stripped down to perform “Alright” with some help from Kaytranada, ending the set with a striking, Flashdance-inspired pose, backed by a simulated waterfall. The performance was the star’s first for the BET Awards, but judging by the warm reception it received, it won’t be her last.
Although Victoria has had a fantastic year so far, it hasn’t all been good news. In May, the star said she was “gutted” to announce the cancelations of several of her upcoming festival appearances for health reasons. “Candidly I have been dealing with some ongoing health issues that have to be addressed right now, but I will be back out there soon, that’s a promise!” she wrote on her social channels. Please know it wasn’t an easy call but it’s definitely for the best. All other shows are still moving forward as planned. See you soon.”
Megan Thee Stallion is delivering the heat on and off the microphone. With the “Down Stairs DJ” rapper’s latest album, Megan, out on streaming platforms, fans are joining in on the lyrical flames.
Tonight (June 30) at the 2024 BET Awards, the H-town hottie brought her Hot Girl Summer Tour to Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater.
To open the show, Megan took to the stage with a scorching melody of her latest tracks. As she broke free from her shell (in this case, a mock snake egg), Megan began with “Hiss.” Although, the evening’s host, Taraji P. Henson, promised the evening would be about love, the crowd remembers the origins of the striking.
When the track first dropped, Megan had a lot to get off of her chest against her ex-boyfriend Pardi, frenemy Nicki Minaj, Tory Lanez, and more.
Next up, “Boa,” the follow-up to “Hiss.” Megan was joined by an army of dancers to help shake the stage with a thunderous twerk session. To close out the set, decided to pivot to a newer song, “Where Them Girls At.”
Despite it being a fresh release, online users have already crowned it a fan favorite, and based off the audience’s response it might be true.

Megan Thee Stallion’s opening performance promises to set the tone for an unforgettable evening celebrating the best in Black entertainment and culture.
“Real Hot Girl sh-t, AH!” Megan Thee Stallion is bringing H-Town to the BET Awards. The Hottie Captain will open Culture’s biggest night with a performance! Y’all know it’s gon’ be lit! Tune in on Sunday, June 30, at 8 PM ET/PT. #BETAwardshttps://t.co/8CX7ywclUW
Megan Thee Stallion is going to be hitting the 2024 BET Award show stage this coming weekend, according to Billboard. Her, along with GloRilla, Will Smith, Ice Spice, Latto, Shaboozey, and more, will rock the crowd on Sunday, June 30. What is even more exciting, is that she will be the opening act. This is the perfect choice for the show. Two days prior, the Houston, Texas MC’s third solo album, MEGAN, will be out. Obviously, this could lead to the audience to receiving an exclusive first taste of some new songs live.
This announcement also comes at a great time for Megan, because of her recent accomplishments. For example, the hitmaker and Amazon collaborated on a commercial to promote the 10th annual Prime Day. It is sure to bring in more customers on both sides, as the theme song is also going to be a bonus track. The catchy tune will land on an exclusive Amazon edition release of MEGAN when the album drops on June 28.
In addition, the Hottie queen recently added two more United States stops for her Hot Girl Summer Tour. On July 2, Megan will be going back to Atlanta for a third round. Then, on July 3 she returns to North Carolina, this time heading to Charlotte. The tickets went on sale today at noon and you can buy them here. Megan can simply not lose right now, and we cannot wait for this coming weekend.
