AceShowbiz - The Grammy-winning artist, Megan Thee Stallion, made a thrilling entrance, emerging from a cracked snake egg adorned in a daring shiny green and gold latex bodysuit with calf-high boots. This dramatic appearance was complemented by fiery graphics, paying homage to the snake imagery that has been prominent in her recent works.
With a high-octane performance of "Hiss", Megan set the stage ablaze, inviting the audience to "turn up with the 'hot girls'." The rapper was joined by dozens of backup dancers in matching outfits, amplifying the energy of the performance. As part of the dynamic number, she transitioned seamlessly into "Boa", continuing the snake-inspired theme from her latest album, "MEGAN".
Throughout the performance, Megan showcased her iconic, sexy dance moves, concluding with the fan-favorite track "Where Them Girls At". The opening act, brimming with high-energy choreography and vibrant theatrics, set a high bar for the evening's upcoming performances.
Recognized for her outstanding contributions to hip-hop, Megan has been nominated for four BET Awards this year: Video of the Year, Best Collaboration for "Bongos" with Cardi B, Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, and the BET Her Award for "Hiss". The 2024 BET Awards, dubbed as "culture's biggest night," featured other anticipated performances from artists such as Mulatto, Muni Long, Sexyy Red and Victoria Monet.
The event was hosted by Golden Globe-winning actor Taraji P. Henson, marking her third time as the show's master of ceremonies. Henson, an avowed fan of Megan, lauded the rapper for her resilience and talent. Prior to the awards, Henson had attended Megan's "Hot Girl Summer Tour" in Los Angeles and shared her admiration: "She has been able to withstand all of the adversity and rise above it. She's incredible. I love you Megan, and I'm so proud of you."
