Lil Uzi Vert, GloRilla & More To Perform At 2023 BET Awards

June 16, 2023

A star-studded lineup of Hip Hop legends will also help celebrate the culture’s 50th anniversary.

This year’s BET Awards will take place on Sunday, June 25. Philadelphia-bred rapper Lil Uzi Vert and Memphis-bred rapper GloRilla will perform during the televised ceremony.

Lil Uzi Vert scored a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart earlier this year with the Jersey Club-inspired “Just Wanna Rock” single. That track became the unofficial anthem of the Philadelphia Eagles team’s NFL playoff run.

Last year, GloRilla burst onto the scene with her viral smash “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” with Hitkidd. Yo Gotti’s musical protégé followed up that Grammy-nominated track by dropping the Top 10 hit “Tomorrow 2” featuring Cardi B.

Additionally, the 2023 BET Awards will celebrate Hip Hop culture’s 50th anniversary by presenting a star-studded list of legends. Acts such as Big Daddy Kane, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Kid ‘N Play, MC Lyte, Master P, Remy Ma, Soulja Boy, Trick Daddy, Trina, Tyga, Uncle Luke, and Warren G will hit the stage.

“We have an incredible lineup of performers who will take us on a musical journey, covering Hip Hop spanning every decade, style, and region. From music to dance and fashion, we are digging through every crate as we celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop and its diversity, evolution, and global impact,” says Connie Orlando, BET EVP, Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy.

Orlando adds, “This wall-to-wall party will reverberate with the amazing energy and passion these artists bring to the stage and the culture. Prepare for an unforgettable night of reunions and surprises as we celebrate Hip Hop’s rich history, enduring legacy, and promising future.” 

BET Awards Best New Artist nominees Doechii and Coco Jones will also share their talents with the BET audience. GloRilla made it into the Best New Artist category as well, along with Ambré, FLO, Ice Spice, and Lola Brooke.

Canadian hitmaker Drake earned the most nominations (7) for the 2023 BET Awards, including Best Male Hip Hop Artist. GloRilla picked up the most nominations for a female artist with six nods. “About Damn Time” singer Lizzo was right behind Big Glo with five.
