The
VMAs are scheduled to air simultaneously from the Peacock
Theater on CBS, MTV, and Paramount+.
Snoop Dogg is a 13-time VMAs nominee and has won three of the
Moon Man awards. Snoop made his debut on the VMAs stage in 1994.
In 1999, he closed the show with Dr. Dre and Eminem. He returned
for a tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. and again for a
performance with Eminem in 2022.
“MTV and the VMAs have been part of my story since the
beginning,” he said in a statement. “Some of the biggest moments
of my career happened on that stage and on MTV — they gave
hip-hop a place to be loud, fearless and seen by the whole
world. So to come back now and host the VMAs, all these years
later, that’s a full-circle moment for me.”
Going into the night, Madonna has the most nominations with 11,
including for video of the year for “Confessions II — The Film,”
artist of the year and song of the year for “Bring Your Love.”
Taylor Swift has nine nods, including artist of the year.
Madonna and Swift are followed by Ariana Grande and Sabrina
Carpenter with seven nods each, as well as Bruno Mars,
PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson with five. Nirvana will be
honored with the Video Vanguard award.
