Who are the performers at the 2023 BET Awards?

The list was so long that a better question may be, who didn't? The 2023 BET Awards feature performances from 69 Boyz, Big Daddy Kane, Chief Keef, DJ Unk, E-40, Fast Life Yungstaz & Easton (F.L.Y.), Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Kid ‘N Play, MC Lyte, Percy “Master P” Miller, Remy Ma, Soulja Boy, The Sugarhill Gang, Trick Daddy, Trina, Tyga, Uncle Luke, Warren G, Ying Yang Twins and Yo-Yo.

Who's hosting the 2023 BET Awards?

It appears the 2023 BET Awards show is following in the footsteps of many other awards broadcasts and going without a host for its 50th anniversary. Taraji P. Henson has hosted for the last two years but the show is switching it up for 2023 due to the writers strike.
