Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy will perform at the forthcoming 2022 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 15, 2022.
Megan Thee Stallion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Latto, and Rauw Alejandro are all slated to take the stage at the award show next month. Megan Thee Stallion and Latto are finalists for Billboard’s Top Female Rap Artist category during this year’s event.
While Burna Boy didn’t get nominated at the award, Puerto Rican singer Alejandro, who is a finalist in four categories this year, including top Latin artist, will also grace the stage for the first time at Billboard Music Awards.
Mary J. Blige will be honored with this year’s Icon Award during the telecast, following a long line of superstars to receive the trophy including P!nk, Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Cher, Celine Dion, and more. The Good Morning Gorgeous songstress will also grace the stage with a special, career-spanning performance of her own, Billboard stated.
Billboard Music Awards finalists and winners are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, and social engagement, tracked by Billboard and its data partners, including Luminate (formerly MRC Data).
