The announcement was made by BET on its social media platforms last evening and early today.
A
single tweet started the series of declarations of the genres’ upcoming
presence at the highly regarded event.
“Yu

gained its competitive roots!†the award’s Twitter page proclaimed.

It
later went on to share that dancehall’s princess Shenseea would be “bringing
the vives†to the show slated to start at 8:00 PM on the network.
If
that news wasn’t big enough for dancehall aficionados, BET announced about an
hour later that the ‘War Lord’ Bounty Killer would perform a set at the show.
That
was followed shortly afterwards with news that rising star Skip Marley, of the
legendary Marley clan, will also make an appearance onstage of the show that
honours hip hop’s best and brightest.

telecast, that will also feature renowened disc jock ZJ Liquid.
