2022 Billboard Music Awards to be hosted and produced by Sean Diddy Combs
The Last Night hit maker, Sean Diddy Combs will host and produce the annual ceremony of BBMA to mark the 25th anniversary of his first BBMA win in 1997.
On Friday, 24 April, Diddy made this statement:
“This will be unlike any awards show. I’m bringing the love and setting the frequency at an all-time high,”
“The Billboard Music Awards truly represent the artists and where music is today, so I’m excited to curate the biggest live performances and surprises. The world has to tune in to see.”
Diddy teased what fans can expect on the night via a video he shared on Instagram, saying;
“That means I’m the host with the most, I’m the executive producer that calls all the shots, that means I’m the ringmaster, (showman) P.T. Barnum-style. You know, ain’t no party like a Diddy party. We’re gonna come through with one of the most disruptive line-ups in music history with one of the most controversial hosts in music history – me!”
The line-up of performers currently includes Burna Boy, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Rauw Alejandro, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mary J. Blige, the recipient of this year’s Icon Award.
