June 25, 2024

Will Smith will perform a new song at the 2024 Bet Awards.

It was announced on Monday that the actor and rapper will perform a new original song at the upcoming BET Awards on Sunday.

“From his early days as a rapper to The Fresh Prince to his blockbuster performance as one of the Bad Boys, Will Smith is a true global icon and we are honored to welcome him back to the BET Awards stage,” said Connie Orlando, EVP Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET. “We look forward to Will contributing to another defining night for culture that will not be missed.”

The announcement comes nearly three months after Smith performed with J. Balvin at Coachella in April in his full “Men in Black” costume.

Although he is best known as an actor, Smith has released four studio albums throughout his career, including 2005’s Lost and Found.

Further details about the upcoming performance have not been announced, but according to Variety, a source has hinted that the star is working on a new album.

Taraji P. Henson will once again host the annual awards ceremony, while Usher will be honored with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award.

The event will also feature artists such as Ice Spice, Lauryn Hill & YG Marley, Tyla, Latto, Shaboozey and Victoria Monét.

Queen Latifah, Cardi B, Common, The Roots and The Jungle Brothers will also perform at the event.

Drake leads the BET Awards nominees with seven nominations.
