Megan Thee Stallion kicked off the 2024 BET Awards Sunday night (June 30) with a fiery medley of cuts from her latest album, Megan.
She hatched from an egg — an ode to her album cover and overarching snake motif — before she set it ablaze with her seething Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 diss track “Hiss.” An army of women then surrounded her during her twerk-filled performance of “Boa.”
“BET, where my girls at? Where my twin at? Where Victoria [Monét] at? Coco [Jones], you look pretty in the front,” she said, gassing up the girls while her enviable knees did what needed to be done on “Where Them Girls At.” And in true Megan fashion, she ended her performance medley with her signature “ahh” tongue move.
Megan is up for four awards: best collaboration and video of the year with “Bongos” alongside Cardi B, as well as best female hip-hop artist and BET Her with “Hiss.”
The 29-year-old Grammy-winning rapper released her third studio album, Megan, on Friday (June 28) via her independent label Hot Girl Productions following her departure from 300 Entertainment and 1501 Certified. The 18-track project contains previously released singles “Cobra,” “Hiss” and “Boa,” as well as collaborations with Kyle Richh (“B.A.S.”), Yuki Chiba (“Mamushi”), GloRilla (“Accent”), UGK (“Paper Together”), Monét (“Spin”) and Big K.R.I.T. and Buddah Bless (“Miami Blue”). Megan is currently on 2024 Hot Girl Summer Tour alongside GloRilla.
Hosted by Taraji P. Henson for the third year, the 2024 BET Awards is held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
