Stephen Hill, the president of music programming and specials at BET, explained the choice in hosts: “When we asked folks who should host this year’s BET Awards online, in the streets, among other celebs and throughout social media, one name came back to us loud and clear: Kevin Hart. He is blue flame right now and we are looking forward to working with him on the show.”

Rapper M-Bone, who was recently killed in a drive-by shooting, was nominated with his fellow artists in Cali Swag District for the Best Group award.
