BET are turning all the way up for the 15th anniversary of the BET Awards.
This Sunday sees the annual extravaganza aptly air live from LA Live at the Nokia Theater, with a line-up that continues to grow more titillating by the day.
For, it has been announced that a slew of new names have joined the list of already confirmed performers set to rock the stage in just 48 hours.
Details below…
Taking to Twitter today, literal Bad Boy Bad Boy honcho Diddy revealed that the awards will play host to a reunion of the once formidable movement:
This Sunday, PUFF DADDY & THE FAMILY are taking over the BETawards !! Thank you to all the BadBoy… https://t.co/EUKYXQAn3U

Names already swirling around to join the mogul include Faith Evans and Lil Kim.
Elsewhere, Entertainment Tonight are reporting that Alicia Keys will take to the stage, as well as The Weeknd.
Rounding out the new additions is rising star Tori Kelly, who confirmed her performance on Twitter:

Other names set to blaze the stage include Ciara, Tinashe, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Meek Mill, and Jason Derulo. There is mounting suggestion that Janet Jackson – who is receiving the Ultimate Icon Award – is slated to perform too. But folk will have to stay tuned come June 28th at 7pm ET to find out if the latter proves true!
I hope nicki doesn’t do the night is still young. Awesome song but it doesn’t bang as an epic performance song. In thinking Abybody Wanna Buy A Heart with Meek! That would be hot
Intrigued to see Tinashe
Ciara will KILL it
I’m so happy Tori is performing. She will slay with them runs
She’s a flop honey. DEAL!!!
Please.. The BET awards is nickis best friend. The only flop is Kim’s left cheek. Bish needs a top up on that Botox to get an even look
Why is that guitar plucking, white b*tch Tori Kelly performing at the BET awards? She doesn’t need anymore promo; the major execs have her covered. There are plenty of up and coming girls in R&B who need the promo as they aren’t able to get a slot on Good Morning America.
EVERYONE NEEDS PROMO WHETHER IT’S A WORLD TOUR OR AN INTERVIEW. THAT WHITE B**** BOOKING BET’S STAGE IS NOT GETTING IN THE WAY OF OTHERS. K. MICHELLE & TAMARYONCE CAREY, EXCUSE ME, TAMAR BRAXTON HAVE BOOKED THE STAGE AS WELL. IF THEY CAN DO IT, THEN THE OTHERS NEED TO GET ON THEIR TEAM, NOT THE WHITE PEOPLE.
She shouldn’t be performing there because she can get promo anywhere where true R&B singers cannot do the same. From the AMA’s to the Billboards they pushed their own acts without any black artist, therefore it should be the same with the BET awards. That is the exact reason why black artists are being phased out while Iggy, Ed, Nick Jonas, and now Taylor Swift are singing it.
YOU SOUND IGNORANT AND DELUSIONAL. MAY YOUR C*** GET F***** UNTIL IT BLEEDS OUT YOUR IGNORANCE .
You can say that I sound ignorant, but you are the one who actually is! You’re not able to see how black music is currently being appropriated just like Rock & Roll, Jazz, Country, and Blues.
She isn’t white dumbass
Then what is she? I’ll wait, because ALL I see is blonde hair and a lack of melanin.
According to wiki, Tori’s dad is Jamaican and Puerto Rican.
Trust me I had to look right away, cause I thought she was white as rice lol
That has nothing to do with her RACE. There are plenty of white people of multiple ethnicities living in Jamaica. She is as white and bleached as the Wonder Bread in my cabinet.
Because the only major promo she’s gotten has been the Billboard Awards and GMA. And that white guitar plucking b*tch has more talent then most of the current line up
Agreed ! And we not gonna pretend Mariah didn’t have white skin and platinum blonde hair at one point ????
I am definitely looking forward to that Bad Boy reunion. I hope Faith, 112, Lil Kim,Total & Loon show up and show out!.. hell even Mase/Maize should be there (I like to call him Maize because that dude is corny af)
UGH SO PUSS MAMA, I MEAN PUFF DADDY, LET STEPHEN HILL BEAT HIS ABUSED CHEEKS JUST FOR A REUNION OF ONE ALBUM STARS THAT HAVE WENT CRAZY AFTER HE FIRED THEM? STUPID ASS N****. WELL, AT LEAST TRUTH CAN BE HAPPY ABOUT LIL’ KIMMEL BEING BOOKED ON A STAGE THAT ISN’T A NIGHT CLUB PARKING LOT.
U can kiss my ass!
kill it QUEEN BEE !! Kill every b**** in the vicinity ????
Who? Little Kim!!!!???
The only thing she’ll be killing is skin cells. Plastic bish hasn’t had bars in years
Biitch
Total and 112 please!!!!!!
Wow BET is pulling out all the stops this year and it’s about time. BET is trying to make the MTV vmas look like the t*** choice awards.
Chris Brown and Ne-yo…….why? I’m excited for Alicia Keys, The Weeknd, the Janet tribute and Tori Kelly. She is a really talented artist, her album is one of the best this year.
Cracka lover!!
Are you serious ? You’re what’s wrong with the world.
Yeessss, That W**** Kim better be there so she can see the type of slayage The Queen of rap Nicki will bestow upon BET.
Well I love me some Tori Kelly and I’m very excited for her performance. Hopefully she performs Should’ve Been Us! I can’t wait for the Janet tribute either.
Tori Tori…I remember the first time I heard her perform (on the Queen Latifa Show). she got me and I haven’t looked away from her since then. Girl is a wonder, and I don’t care what color or race she is. Y’all better learn to recognise and appreciate what’s good…whats real.
Tori is amazing. Fantastic voice and authentic musicianship. Love her.
Amped for the Weeknd, Nicki, and the JJ tribute. Excited for the Bad Boy reunion, but would prefer if Diddy never hits the stage. It’s all about Faith, 112, Total, and the rest of the roster.
Can’t wait to see everybody performance at the bet award show on Sunday!!!
So a white singer with ZERO hits gets to perform at the BET Awards but Jazmine Sullivan and Sevyn Streeter dont get invited even though JAzmine put out a GREAT CD.
Nobody is selling albums so that is no excue not to invite her.
Also, why do the female RNB artists nomineees look the same as last year.
It looks like they literally just put some names together.
I know TInashe was nominated for best new artist but how was she not also nominated for female RNB????
Do better BET.
OMG TORI KELLY YAAAAZ! HER ALBUM IS LIFE!

I havent been this excited for an Award Show in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
