Normani has confirmed that she was indeed set to blaze the stage at tonight’s BET Awards 2024.
However, in an unfortunate twist, the singer has revealed that an injury has caused her to drop out from the coveted spot.
Full story below…
The ‘Candy Paint’ performer has been promoting her finally unlocked debut album ‘Dopamine’ and murmurs have been gathering volume about a potential BET Awards showing in support of the set.
Moments ago, though, she shared that an injury in rehearsals left her on crutches and she had to vacate the slot in order to heal.
Taking to Instagram, her full address readL
“l am more frustrated and disappointed than anyone believe me. I wanted to get on here and give you guys an update letting you know that while in rehearsals for BET had a really bad accident and injured myself. I am normally good for powering through under any circumstance but unfortunately due to my doctor’s orders, I am just not able to make this performance happen. I desperately wanted to give you my best on that stage but performing would delay my healing.
I have been going through my process and doing my best to make sense of my feelings regarding this. I am devastated and hate feeling like a disappointment to you but I have to focus on recovering at this time. Trust me, I hear you, and I see you. There is nothing more that I wanted to do than perform for you and also, get back to doing what fulfills me most- BEING ON STAGE. Thank you so much for understanding. Sending my love to BET for giving me and all of the other beautiful black women this opportunity. This is definitely NOT how l envisioned this weekend but best believe I will be championing everyone from home tonight.
I’m sorreerrrry guys and love you so much.”
Here’s wishing Normani a speedy recovery.

Singles after Wildside should’ve been…
1. Grip (longer version)
2. Big boy
3. Candy Paint
4. Lights On
Dopamine: 78/100
91 on the charts though. This flop is done
You never know, she could release a deluxe….with songs that I dunno, have better hooks or whatever. There’s hope. Doja Cat first album Amala didn’t reach billboard 200. But her Hot Pink debuted 90 something and eventually made it to top ten. Doja performed a ridiculous amount, though, Say So took off too, and when she performed, she started to switch up how she delivered her songs to keep them fresh. This ‘flop’ mentality is so toxic though. Each artist is on their own journey. Normani clearly has talent. There’s so many factors. Like I still don’t know why Normani, prior to her injury, hasn’t been booked to perform live or release more videos for this so called era. Sure she’s done some interviews in magazines or YouTube. But where’s her Vevo, The Tonight Show, heck even festivals….Camila just performed at Glastonbury. Her injury is a set back but by this stage she must be learning resilience. She just has to keep going.
Camila performed at Glastonbury cause people know her and her music. She had a massive crowd reciting lyrics to her songs, from havana to my oh my to bam bam to never be the same to I luv it
Normani doesn’t have this. Who would book normani for a festival? Nobody knows her outside twitter
Camila just played rock in rio, she played another sold out festival in morroco and Denmark. All sold out. All top billing, rock in rio she was second billing after doja
Normani ain’t going anywhere
Lying âss bǐtch! LMAO
Nobody is gonna miss this non-singing ass
bǐtch with a weak “whistle” register.
No vocals, no talent & trash music.
She would’ve lip-synced thru the
entire set while humping the floor to
her heavily edited studio vocals.
She should really drop the lead single’s visuals just to wet her fans appetite while she heals. We all know she shot the music video already
She would have slayed everyone on stage tonight that’s for sure
Greatest DANCERS in music:
1. Michael jackson
2. Omarion
3. Usher
4. Chris Brown
5. Normani
6. Ciara
7. Janet Jackson
8. Beyonce
9. Shakira
10. Jennifer Lopez
What are you smoking? Omarion before all those people? Ciara said herself that Janet’s choreography is difficult and very intricate when she did the tribute in 2015. Usher might be older, but his style is not one Omarion could touch. And as much as I don’t like Beyonce, I’d be crazy to place her so far down on your list. More like…
1. MJ
2. Chris
3. Janet
4. Beyonce
5.Usher
6. Ciara
7. Normani
8. JLo
9. Omarion
10. Shakira
This isnt a VERSUZ battle or popularity contest… this is about who wins in a prime DANCE BATTLE given the exact same dificult choreography.
The first 30 seconds of Omarion’s BET award performance proves that Omarion was on a Jabbawockeez lvl in his prime… & above the rest 2nd to only MJ.
LOL in any case, you’re smoking crack with that ridiculous list LOL 🤡
& Janet out dancing Usher is LAUGHABLE. Beyonce outdancing Normani is also LAUGHABLE. & Jlo outdancing Omarion is your greatest dose of comedy yet. 🎤 This isn’t about who u like more nor is it about best performer, if it was, I would’ve put beyonce at #1.
JANET can outdance usher even if she was in crutches. And anybody can out dance Omarion. Your list is LAUGHABLE. 🤡
@LOL & @wait
I hope u realize that this list isn’t about who’s CHOREOGRAPHY u like most or who’s the better performer. It’s about who has the RAWEST dance talent/skill and whos best equipped in a life or death DANCE BATTLE in their PRIME.
Chris brown himself said he wasn’t touching Touch O on drink champs
Ciara smokes both normani and beyonce in dancing. Like I said, LAUGHABLE list from a laughable CLOWN lol 🤡
LOL I know what your bullsh*t list is supposed to be about, and I said what I said, it’s LAUGHABLE CLOWN SH*T 🤣🤡
@LOL
You need to do your research on OMARION.
Him being mediocre Artist with a mediocre vision has nothing to do with DANCE.
@LOL
Normani in the WILD SIDE video & im FENTY X proves that Ciara isn’t touching Normani on any stage.
Normani & Chris brown devours Ciara
Usher & Omarion devours Chris brown.
This is about skill, symmetry, precision & ability. And most of all GRAVITY DEFIANCE
No dancer (that sings) has ever moved gravity more than MJ, OMARION USHER & CHRIS BROWN. > JANET CIARA.
Lol girl shut your LAUGHABLE CLOWN ass up with this nonsense already, nobody is buying it or knows who Omarion is. Janet says to keep her name away from these nobodies too lol. 🤡
she really needs to become an influencer. she wants the soft, socialite life of showing up places once in a while in cute outfits where she can be pictured and that’s alright. the music industry is grubby and not for everyone.
Wondering what other gaps in the market Normani could fill……hmmmmm…..she could be the next IT girl who goes off the rails….there aren’t many of those right now, and then maybe she’d have something interesting to bounce back from. I don’t know what her personality is like. So flat
This little “injury” is a little to CONVENIENT for me. How did this happen just HOURS (practically minutes) just b4 the performance?
Normani was supposed to be GETTING READY or on a plane or something, I understand this could of happened YESTERDAY or the day b4 but I doubt it. The timing is way to convenient for me.
I believe this is a faked injury to get back at RCA for album/career sabotage and poor management/budget.
I don’t believe it — ace bandages are for injuries — a cast is necessary when you break a bone and, the story is she broke a bone (her leg). What I believe is someone told her to not appear. She just can’t catch a break in terms of her career, no pun intended.
Nobody said she broke a bone, you completely made that up yourself lol 🤡
There’s always an excuse with her.
First it was her parents cancer, then it was her manager,then it was her label,
She always has an excuse for everything.
Lmao it’s always something with her. Too bad, if she had the raw talent she could sit on stage or stand in one place and just sing and have the props and backup dancers do the work. But she doesn’t have that fire
In a lot of her interviews Normani mentions God, family and how close she is with them. I don’t think Normani is fµck!ng for tracks behind the scenes and I think she has had a lot of snakes in her circles throughout her career that have damaged it.
The fact that her former manager who fukked so many opportunities for her was working with her racist former bandmate is enough to tell me she is being sabotaged.
Sure this could have been a freak accident, but there’s too much that doesn’t add up and it’s not Normani.
I can see this actually. She is one of the few artists that will even say Jesus
But she could just sit down and sing while her dancers perform around her. We all remember Michael’s performance but you didn’t even have to be a great like him.
Britney Spears did the same thing back when she had a knee injury and the fans ate it up.
Normani doesn’t have the talent to just sit in a chair and “sing” her trash music. She gotta hump the stage for attention
My sources tell me Camila Cabello flew to Havana Cuba to perform an ancient Santeria ritual that hexed Normani 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
LOL since she’s getting ready to flop harder than normani did, I can believe it lol 😂
I’m sorry, but it’s over. Her career, that is. She is not recovering. That statement won’t cover it, I’m sorry. She’s a professional. Stand there and sing to the people. Let the background dancers carry the choreography and sing in a gown. This is a pattern. I wouldn’t back her career with a single dime after this. It’s the last straw. Good luck to her.
I’ve seen Beyoncé perform with an injured leg. Even the Les Twins perform in a wheelchair.
She’s just not that girl…she doesn’t live & breathe it and ppl need to accept it & move on. plenty of artists have performed with injury…if she was serious…she & her choreographer could’ve reworked the performance into something else. all her songs are slow. The Terrell show proves she’s not a vocalist but she could’ve done something for promo sake.
Chile please!
I didn’t know she was scheduled for perform at the BET Awards. She is cursed. Like seriously someone put some bad juju on her career. It’s ALWAYS something with this girl. I do wish her healing….
Album debuted at number 91. Lmfao
This is a stunt.
She was never gonna perform, they lied
Rca records is spending all that budget on Victoria monet. A real star
Her schizophrenic fans from twitter are here with their conspiracy theories
It’s camila that broke her leg
It’s Beyonce that broke her leg
It’s racism amd colourism that broke her leg
It’s rca records and her manager that broke her leg
Mood u ,her album debuted at number 91. Lmfao
The label has pulled the plug on her career.
Atleast she has an excuse why she’s not promoting her flop album
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Who’d she p*** if in the industry bc nothing ever goes right for her
Flop! Break a leg, no I mean break yo leg
Flop ho, you ain’t even trying… how da hell you messed up the one and only performance? Guess your lazy ass hasn’t performed for awhile and that leg is not even ready 💀
Stop lying. She wasn’t even booked for the BET stage. We don’t wanna see her to twerk her weak ass anyways
Ok not cool but she couldn’t show up and do something acoustic that didn’t require dancing ? Just a mic and a spotlight and show people if you really have it…
It almost feels like her career is cursed.
Yeah I don’t know about this, she could have just performed 1:59, that song literally requires no movement lol.
