Nina S — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 06:57:00 +0000

Cardi B is in the running for several American Music Awards this year, but she won’t be attending the ceremony just as a nominee. The hip-hop superstar will also be in charge of hosting the festivities next month in Los Angeles.

Cardi B continues the trend of the AMAs choosing Black female stars as their hosts. Cardi B is following in the footsteps of the Black-ish actress Tracee Ellis Ross (2017,18), R&B star Ciara (2019), and the Oscar-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson (2020).

Cardi B released a statement thanking the show’s executive producer Jesse Collins, ABC, and MRC for making this happen. She added she was very excited after receiving the invite to join the show as its host and said she’s ready to bring her personality to the AMAs stage.
