Normani Reveals Devastating Reason She Canceled BET Awards Performance

Normani says she’s “frustrated and disappointed” about missing the BET Awards but had to cancel after injuring herself at rehearsals for her highly-anticipated performance at the ceremony on Sunday. She discussed her decision not to take the stage in a statement on her Instagram Story.

“I am more frustrated and disappointed than anyone believe me,” she began. “I wanted to get on here and give you guys an update letting you know that while in rehearsals for BET I had a really bad accident and injured myself. I am normally good for powering through under any circumstance but unfortunately due to my doctor’s orders, I am just not able to make this performance happen. I desperately wanted to give you my best on that stage but performing would delay my healing. I have been going through my process and doing my best to make sense of my feelings regarding this. I am devastated and hate feeling like a disappointment to you but I have to focus on recovering at this time.”

Thank you so much for understanding. Sending my love to BET for giving me and all of the other beautiful black women this opportunity. This is definitely NOT how I envisioned this weekend but best believe I will be championing everyone from home tonight.

Megan Thee Stallion Set To Be Opening Act At The 2024 BET Awards

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.
