Megan Thee Stallion To Host 2024 MTV VMAs
Megan Thee Stallion is set to host 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. It was revealed on Thursday that the rapper will host this year’s MTV VMAs, which will be broadcast live from the UBS Arena in New York on 11 September.
As well as hosting, Megan is nominated for five awards at the event, including Best Hip-Hop and Best Collaboration, which she shares with rapper GloRilla. The artist has previously won two VMAs, including Best Hip-Hop in 2020.
Megan previously performed on the MTV VMAs 2019 pre-show before making the leap to hosting the main show, becoming the second artist to do so. She follows Nicki Minaj, who performed on the pre-show in 2010 and co-hosted the main show in 2022. She then hosted the event solo in 2023.
Taylor Swift leads this year’s VMA nominees with 10 nods, followed by Post Malone with nine and Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande with six each. Artists set to perform at the show include Lenny Kravitz, Chappell Roan, Halsey, Benson Boone, Camila Cabello, Blackpink’s Lisa and more.
Megan’s MTV VMAs hosting news comes two months after the rapper released her third album, Megan, which features collaborations with the likes of GloRilla, Victoria Monet, Kyle Rich and more. The snake-themed record includes the singles Cobra, Hiss and Boa. It also marks her first full-length release via her label, Hot Girl Productions.
Earlier this summer, the 29-year-old artist also opened the BET Awards ceremony on Sunday, 30 June. Taraji P. Henson hosted the gala. The star performed a fiery medley of cuts from Megan at the high profile events taking place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Megan is currently on her first ever headlining tour, the Hot Girl Summer Tour, which kicked off in May and concludes on 26 September with a headline gig at the Broccoli City Festival in Washington, D.C.
