The 2024 BET Awards blasted off at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this Sunday night (June 30) with none other than Megan Thee Stallion leading the charge. The 29-year-old rap queen set the stage on fire with a sizzling performance from her latest, eponymous album “Megan.” And boy, did she hiss, slither, and stomp her way into our hearts with bangers like “Hiss,” “Boa,” and “Where Them Girls At.”
But wait, there’s more! Just when you thought you could catch your breath, Megan stormed back onto the stage during GloRilla’s set to join forces for their hit “Wanna Be.” The crowd went wild, and some may or may not have attempted to out-twerk the duo. Spoiler: they failed.
If you’re scratching your head wondering about GloRilla, here’s a fun fact – she’s been the opening act for Megan on the Hot Girl Summer Tour. This dynamic duo is taking the party across the nation, hitting up Atlanta next, then Charlotte, before jetting off to conquer Europe and the UK. They’ll wrap up their whirlwind tour in Washington, DC and Chicago, where they’ll undoubtedly leave fans questioning their life choices and how they ever survived without such epic concerts.
Now, let’s not forget the cherry on top of this glittering evening. Megan Thee Stallion was up for several shiny awards, including Best Collaboration and Video of the Year for “Bongos” with Cardi B. She also snagged nominations for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and BET HER for “Hiss.” Fingers crossed she needed a wheelbarrow to take home all her trophies!
Megan Thee Stallion didn’t just open the BET Awards; she practically invented a new category of performance – one where audiences leave with sore feet, blown minds, and a new appreciation for the sheer power of hot girl magic.
