With Cardi B setting the tone as this year’s opener, the show is guaranteed to be amazing with performances by Meek Mill, Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Da Baby, Fantasia and more.

Blige will become the 19th recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, and everyone is ready to see how the Queen of Hip Hop Soul will be honored.
