Megan Thee Stallion is set to host the MTV Video Music Awards in September.
The announcement comes less than a month after the artist concluded her “Hot Girl” summer tour to celebrate her album Megan, which dropped in June. Advertisement
The 29-year-old, who recently opened the BET Awards with “BOA” and “Where Them Girls At” performances, is up for five awards at the VMAs.
Although she has hosted Saturday Night Live and co-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the VMAs will mark the first time the singer has hosted an award show.
She will go down in HOT GIRL HISTORY as your 2024 #VMAs HOST!!!
