Chance the Rapper Hosting Kids Choice Awards; DaBaby, City Girls, & Lizzo Nominated

Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards is going down, and Chance the Rapper will play host to this year’s hip-hop heavy event featuring a performance by French Montana.

(AllHipHop News) Rap star Chance the Rapper’s family-friendly image has been paying off big time, in the form of new TV shows, hosting gigs on SNL, Super Bowl commercials, and a half-time performance during the NBA All-Star game this weekend.

This March, the rap star will serve as host of the “biggest, slimiest” award show off them all – the Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2020.

Chance will serve as host of the live event, which will broadcast on Nickelodeon, Teen Nick, Nicktoons, and Nick Jr. on Sunday, March 22, at 7:30 p.m. from the Forum in Inglewood, California.

This year’s nominees include some rather controversial rappers, including DaBaby, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion and Lil Nas X. Kevin Hart, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Patrick Mahomes, also scored nominations.

During the weekend leading up to the Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, a variety of artists will perform during a two-day, family-oriented event dubbed “SlimeFest.”

Bronx rapper French Montana will hit the stage next to artists like JoJo Siwa, Why Don’t Wee and Blanco Brown.

Fans can cast votes on the official Kids’ Choice Awards website, www.KidsChoiceAwards.com.
