Megan Thee Stallion Set as Host for MTV Video Music Awards
variety.comChris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Megan Thee Stallion will take on hosting duties at an awards show for the first time as she takes the lead role at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, the network announced Thursday.
The artist previously hosted “Saturday Night Live” and co-hosted “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Megan is up for five awards herself during the VMAs, the most of any hip-hop artist, including best collaboration — a nom shared with GloRilla, with whom she’s been out on tour — and best hip-hop.
Her MTV VMAs wins go back five years, when she first won best power anthem with the song “Hot Girl Summer.” In June, she released her third album, “Megan” — her first as an independent artist, on her own Hot Girl Productions label (with distribution by Warner Music Group).
Her latest single, “Mamushi,” has reached 150 million streams, following the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 success earlier in the year of “Hiss,” a diss track aimed at Nicki Minaj.
