BET Awards 2026
The Atlanta native was nominated for three awards at this year's ceremony
T.I. lit up the stage at the BET Awards 2026, delivering a fiery performance that saw the rap legend holding court while reaffirming his status as the King of the South.
Opening the ceremony as the first performer of the evening, T.I. began his set with his classic King track “Top Back.” Descending onto the stage on a golden crown, a nod to his standing as Hip-Hop royalty, Tip was joined by a flock of female dancers waving checker flags in matching outfits for his most recent hit, “Let ‘Em Know.”
Performing while perched atop a car with his son King behind the driver’s wheel, T.I. stepped into the crowd to vibe with the audience, with male dancers wearing black Atlanta Braves hats, white shirts, and jeans joining in on the fun.
