Fat Joe is set to host the upcoming BET Hip Hop Awards show. According to BET, the show will be taped on September 30 at the Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta and premiere on air at 9 p.m. ET/PT on October 4 on BET.
"This will be the BIGGEST award show in history," Fat Joe told Billboard. "It's truly an honor to host and produce the BET Hip Hop Awards, and I can't thank Connie [Orlando] and the entire BET family enough for this opportunity."
"We're going to celebrate music, culture, and entertainment, honor the biggest and brightest stars in the world and make this an unforgettable night full of laughs and surprises," he added. "Always remember that yesterday's host is not today's host."
"Fat Joe is hip-hop royalty. He has represented the art form and the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop, throughout his outstanding musical career. He is a treasured friend of the network, and we've loved seeing and supporting his evolution to becoming the superstar he is today," said BET EVP Connie Orlando
She added, "We can't wait to watch him take the stage with his vivacious energy, standing together with today's hottest and beloved hip-hop stars."
