Written by djfrosty on April 23, 2025
Well, it’s not the Oscars like he originally hoped for, but Kevin Hart will indeed finally be hosting an awards show. And truth be told we can’t wait to see what kind of comedic hi jinx he has in store for us.
According to TheGrio, Kevin Hart has been tapped to host the 25th Annual BET Awards on June 9 and with that will come all kinds of jokes and “insults” aimed at celebrities that only Kevin Hart can get away with making. Having already been a part of the BET family with his 2013 cult classic comedy show, Real Husbands of Hollywood, the only question is why did it take BET so long to come to this decision? Regardless of the delay, Kevin Hart is excited about taking on hosting duties for the BET Awards 25th anniversary, and we don’t blame him one bit.
TheGrio reports:
“I love a celebration! It’s a chance to reflect, cherish, and honor life’s unforgettable moments,” Hart said in a press release. “I’m truly honored to host the 25th BET Awards and celebrate the culture’s biggest night. This year marks the 25th anniversary, and my partners at Hartbeat, BET, and JCE [Jesse Collins Entertainment] are pulling out all the stops to make it a night to remember. It’s a Black-Tie affair, and you’re all invited.”
Kevin Hart isn’t the only one bursting at the seams about hosting the BET Award’s 25th Anniversary show. BET President and CEO Scott Mills is also elated at Hart’s involvement in this year’s ceremony.
“For over a decade, Kevin Hart has been a beloved part of the BET family, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him return to host the 25th anniversary BET Awards,” said BET President and CEO Scott Mills. “His unparalleled talent, infectious energy, and deep connection to our audience make him the perfect host for this historic celebration. Kevin has continuously pushed boundaries in entertainment. On the heels of the successful launch of BET+ original series Lil Kev, we are eager to expand our partnership and continue to bring groundbreaking projects to life.”
