It’s a very special night for the entertainment industry as REVOLT Chairman Sean “Diddy” Combs leads the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. Not only is the iconic record executive, musician and business mogul hosting and performing tonight (May 15), he also executive produced this year’s show. Everyone knows what that means — we’re in for some good times, great performances, and a lot of memorable moments overall.
Speaking of performances, viewers are in store for a star-studded lineup. In addition to Diddy, several music heavyweights are slated to hit the stage, including Travis Scott, Silk Sonic, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Maxwell, Machine Gun Kelly, Mary J. Blige and more. Blige will also receive Billboard’s coveted Icon Award.
The nominations for the 2022 Billboard Music Awards are also very exciting. Drake, Doja Cat, Taylor Swift and more are going up against one another for Top Artist; Drake, Lil Baby, Polo G, Moneybagg Yo and the late Juice WRLD will battle it out for Top Rap Artist; and, in the Top R&B Album category, Doja Cat, Giveon, Summer Walker and more will go head-to-head. Get ready for a true battle royale!
“This will be unlike any awards show – I’m bringing the love and setting the frequency at an all-time high. The Billboard Music Awards truly represent the artists and where music is today, so I’m excited to curate the biggest live performances and surprises. The world has to tune in to see,” Diddy said in an official announcement ahead of tonight’s show.
