You need someone who can truly appreciate how an award show should be treated. Sean “Diddy” Combs has it covered.

The host of the 2022 Billboard Music Awards is Diddy from “I Need a Girl,” MRC and NBC announced this on April 22. This is also Diddy’s 25th anniversary of winning his first Billboard Music Award for his album in 1997. There is no escape. 

“This will be unlike any awards show – I’m bringing the love and setting the frequency at an all-time high,” Diddy said in a statement on April 22. I feel honored to curate some of the most exciting live performances and surprise acts for the Billboard Music Awards. To see the best of what music is today, you have to listen to it all.

The BBMAs in Las Vegas will take place May 15, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. They will also be streamed on NBC and Peacock.
