2021 BET Hip Hop Award Performances: Nelly, Young Thug, Gunna, Latto, Bia

Watch your favorite artists grace the stage and make sure to also check out the newcomers who stepped into the Rap City Booth for a freestyle.

In another post from this evening, we’ve shared the list of winners from the BET Hip Hop Awards. This tie around, we’re bringing you the performers who rocked the stage. Nelly was this year’s recipient of the “I Am Hip Hop Award,” and to cap off an already exciting evening, he took to the stage to perform a medley of his hits.

Young Thug and Gunna also lit up the stage and performed a few tracks while Bia shared her moment with Lil Jon. Latto showed off her big energy with a “Soufside” performance and Baby Keem flew solo when he spit his bars from “Family Ties.”
