The BET Awards 2025 are packing on the nostalgia. Millennials were transported back to sitting in front of their living room televisions after school as Ashanti opened the awards show by performing “Rock Wit U” and “Foolish.”
Rocking her signature thigh-high black boots, gleaming off the Peacock Theater stage, she passed the diamond-encrusted mic to Jim Jones, who stepped out in a Celine football jersey to rock the venue with his Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hit “We Fly High (Ballin’),” which had Nick Cannon and the rest of the crowd hitting their jump shot routine.
Amerie popped out next, and she hasn’t aged a day since ’05, as she performed her “1 Thing” hit. The singer kicked off a ladies’ takeover with Mya (“Case of the Ex” ) and Keyshia Cole (“I Should Have Cheated”), belting their toxic love anthems.
T.I. may have retired his mic from performing, but he made a special exception on Culture’s Biggest Night, celebrating 25 years of the BET Awards. The Atlanta-bred pioneer rumbled through trap hits like “Bring Em Out” and “What You Know.”
It was then B2K’s turn, as the boy band reunited to infiltrate the BET Awards in all-white attire, performing their “Bump, Bump, Bump” smash.
There wouldn’t be a proper 106 reunion without Bow Wow, and the multi-hyphenate entertainer brought the energy for “Like You.” So So Def boss Jermaine Dupri also made a surprise appearance, performing “Fresh Az I’m Iz” with Bow Weezy.
106 & Park co-hosts Terrence J, Free and Julissa Bermudez also reunited onstage to pay tribute to the platform that helped springboard their entertainment careers.

On Monday night (June 9), the 2025 BET Awards returned to Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater in celebration of its 25th anniversary. Hosted by Kevin Hart for a second time, BET recruited a bevy of A-listers to steer the show into prime-time excellence, with performances on deck from Lil Wayne, Playboi Carti, Leon Thomas and GloRilla.
Along with having some of today’s brightest stars in the room and on the red carpet, BET is honoring several legendary luminaries including Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx and Kirk Franklin at Monday’s show. Along with receiving the Ultimate Icon Awards, which celebrated “their decades of groundbreaking contributions to music, entertainment, advocacy, and community impact,” Snoop, Carey and Franklin will grace the stage with high-octane performances from their decorated catalogs.
The West Coast’s very own Kendrick Lamar leads the nominee pack, walking into the night with an astounding 10 nominations, including a nod in the album of the year category for his highly touted effort GNX and video of the year for his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 record “Not Like Us.” Following Lamar are Doechii, Drake, Future and GloRilla, each with six nods, while SZA and Metro Boomin snagged five of their own.
The BET Awards is also honoring its revered flagship show, 106 & Park, as former hosts AJ Calloway, Free, Julissa Bermudez, Keshia Chanté, Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J will reunite after spending years on the legendary NYC couches counting down hip-hop and R&B classics in front of a live studio audience. There, former 106 host Bow Wow will hit the stage, along with performances from B2K, Amerie, T.I. and Jim Jones.
