Chris Tucker is heading to BET!

That’s right, in kicking off the buzz for the ‘BET Awards 2013’, the organisation has announced the ‘Rush Hour’ star is to host this year’s festivities, live from LA’s Nokia Theatre.

Announcing the news, the company’s President of Music Programming Stephen Hill revealed:

“We cannot wait for Chris to set fire to the BET Awards stage with his unique brand of mayhem. We’ve been chasing him for years and we couldn’t be happier that he is hosting the show in this special year: the year we embark on the three–day long BET Experience.”

Taking place on June 28th this year, the event will welcome a plethora of the world’s most celebrated stars to both perform and enjoy all the ‘Experience’ has to offer, two years ‘Kisses Down Low’ singer Kelly Rowland brought the house down with a killer rendition of her single, ‘Motivation‘.

So, until we find out if she’s set to return to the show this year, catch Chris in action above!
