"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."
