The BET Awards are today (June 30) and the stars are set to hit the stage. Donald Glover, known musically as Childish Gambino, is poised to perform at the BET Awards this Sunday. The actor, writer producer and occasional musician/rapper will be sharing the stage with newly announced artists Chlöe, Coco Jones, Keke Palmer, Marsha Ambrosius, and Summer Walker.
Get this, Childish Gambino’s return to the stage comes amid rumors of a new album titled “Lithonia”, which Glover clarified on Instagram Live is actually a single. He attributed the leak to Audiomack and revealed that his new project is a soundtrack album titled “Bando Stone & the New World”, though details about the accompanying film remain scarce. Glover explained, “I’m trying to have fun. Because I feel like there’s just people not having enough fun… Even this year, the most fun we had was from a fight…which I enjoyed every minute of. But still kind of negative in a certain light, I guess.”
What’s cool is the Hollywood tie-in to the BET Awards which will also feature presenters such as Andra Day, Colman Domingo, DC Young Fly, Devale Ellis, Jay Ellis, Ms. Pat, Niecy Nash-Betts and her wife Jessica Betts, and Saucy Santana.
ICYMI, previously announced participants include host Taraji P. Henson, lifetime achievement honoree Usher, and performers like GloRilla, Ice Spice, Latto, Lauryn Hill, Megan Thee Stallion, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Tyla, Victoria Monét, and YG Marley. Will Smith is also slated to perform his new song, “You Can Make It,” featuring Fridayy and the Sunday Service Choir. The motivational track follows Smith’s return to the spotlight with the film “Bad Boys: Ride or Die”.
What’s probably just as exciting is the carpet. BET detailed their red carpet live show, produced by Matasa Williams, with host Terrence J and performances by Too $hort, Lil’ Mo, Blxst & Bino Rideaux, Connie Diiamond, 4batz, Hunxho, Kalan.FrFr, Mariah The Scientist, October London, Remy Ma, Tee Grizzley, 310babii, and DJ Quik. Pretty Vee will serve as a correspondent, Tank will host a style stage, Mouse Jones will host a live stream, and Jae Murphy will be the resident DJ.
If you want to check it all out, BET Awards will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. ET/PT from Downtown L.A.’s Peacock Theater, with Drake leading the nominations with seven nods. Oh, and that part. Period.
