Megan Thee Stallion continues to rack up accomplishments in her career. She can now cross VMA host off the list.
That’s right. The network announced on Thursday that Megan Thee Stallion will flex her hosting skills again when she hosts the 2024 MTV VMAs.
She follows Nicki Minaj, who hosted the 2023 and 2022 VMAs alongside LL Cool J and Jack Harlow, continuing the trend of artists hosting the big event.
This won’t be the first time Megan Thee Stallion has taken on hosting duties. The Houston artist has also hosted Saturday Night Live and co-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The news that Megan Thee Stallion would be hosting the VMAs came after the announcement of this year’s nominees. The leader of the Hot Girls earned five nominations, including Best Collaboration with GloRilla, whom she was just on tour with, and Best Hip Hop Video.
She took home the Best Hip Hop Video award in 2020 thanks to her hit “Savage” off her EP Suga, which her label at the time, 1501 Certified Entertainment, refused to acknowledge as an album, allowing her to fulfill her contractual obligation.
Thee Stallion took home her first VMA in 2019 in the Best Power Anthem category for her Nicki Minaj-assisted single “Hot Girl Summer,” back when everything was cool between the two Hip-Hop stars.
Megan Thee Stallion Is Having A Stellar 2024
Now, she is riding the success of her latest album, Megan, an 18-track album featuring other artists like Victoria Monét, GloRilla, UGK, Big KRIT, Kyle Richh, and Yuki Chiba.
Her latest single and visual, “Mamushi,” has become a viral sensation, generating over 150 million global streams and reaching No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Viral chart in Japan.
“Hiss,” her scathing diss record in which many believe Nicki Minaj caught a stray, became her third Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit.
Now, we are looking forward to the VMAs.
