Rapping a special two-minute sports version of the chart-topping song, the hip-hop legend brought the audience of sports and entertainment stars to their feet before welcoming the crowd to the show.
The “Lollipop” rapper name dropped LSU’s Angel Reese, Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin, football Hall-of-Famer Deion Sanders, NBA legend Dennis Rodman and the NBA’s most recent number one draft pick, Victor Wembanyama.
The star-studded award show included appearances from Dwyane Wade, Quavo, Patrick Mahomes, who took home the Best Athlete Award, and Lebron James, who was presented with the award for Best Record Breaking Performance.
H.E.R. also took the stage for a special performance of “The Journey” in celebration of the V Foundation’s 30th anniversary.
