DJ Khaled, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, New Edition to Perform at 2017 BET Awards

BET is set to orchestrate the turn-up for the upcoming BET Awards later this month. The latest performers slated to take the stage include DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Big Sean, New Edition, Post Malone, Jessie Reyez and Roman Gianarthur.

In May, it was announced that Migos, Bruno Mars, and Future will be performing at BET's annual awards show on June 25. Comedian Leslie Jones will be hosting the ceremony.

Beyoncé leads the pack of nominees with seven nominations for Lemonade. Chance the Rapper, who has four nominations, is going to be receiving the BET Humanitarian Award for “positively impacting both local and national communities.”

Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones will host the ceremony, now going into its 17th year. The BET Awards will air live from Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater at 8 p.m. ET on June 25, wrapping up the annual BET Experience taking place from June 22-25.

The star-studded lineup comes after previously announced performers Bruno Mars, Future, Migos, Trey Songz and Tamar Braxton. Chance the Rapper will also be honored with the Humanitarian Award while New Edition -- whose blockbuster biopic The New Edition Story became a ratings magnet for the network in January -- will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
