Megan Thee Stallion is adding a little bit of savage to the MTV Video Music Awards stage. The 29-year-old rapper is hosting the 2024 VMAs, marking her first time ever hosting an awards show. The ceremony will take place at New Yorkโs UBS Arena on Wednesday, September 11, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
โHotties Iโm hosting THEE 2024 @vmas,โ she tweeted on Thursday, August 22. โTune in September 11.โ
Although this is Meganโs first gig as an awards emcee, she has hosting experience under her belt. Previously, she hosted the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live.
Most recently, the โBodyโ artist released her new album, MEGAN, and supported the Mean Girls movie musical by collaborating with Reneรฉ Rapp on their single for the film, โNot My Fault.โ
Viewers can expect to see some of their favorite music artists at the VMAs. Katy Perry is set to receive the highly coveted Video Vanguard Award and perform some of her biggest hits. Meanwhile, pop stars Camila Cabello and Sabrina Carpenter will be performing in addition to rocker Lenny Kravitz and alternative pop artist Halsey.

This yearโs VMAs was moved to a different date in order to avoid conflicting with the upcoming presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Meg, meanwhile, has been actively supporting Kamala, 59, throughout her presidential campaign. The rapper performed during the vice presidentโs campaign rally at the Georgia State Convocation Center on July 30. Following the event, Meg shared an Instagram video of her and her backup dancers.
โThee new head of security [sic],โ she captioned the clip, adding the hashtag โ#hottiesforharris.โ
Days later, Meg addressed the backlash she received from those who disagree with Kamalaโs policies. During her Lollapalooza set earlier this month, the โHot Girl Summerโ artist informed the crowd that critics were โfake mad that [she] was popping it for Kamala.โ
โI donโt think they heard what she said,โ Meg said, according to USA Today. โKamala said she wants a ceasefire. Kamala said she supports womenโs rights. Kamala said yโall tired of those high โฆ gas prices. Kamala said โIโm for the people.โ โฆ Tonight Iโm not giving yโall my lightest twerk. Iโm giving yโall my hardest twerk in the rain. Itโs Hotties for Harris!โ
