#Eminem will open the 2024 MTV VMAs 🔥☄️
Eminem will return to the VMAs stage on Wednesday night to open the show, MTV announced early Monday morning.
The artist, who tied with Peter Gabriel for the most wins by a male solo artist in VMAs history, is returning to the show's stage for the first time since 2022, when he performed with Snoop Dogg and last opened the show in 2010 with a duet of his hit "Love the Way You Lie" with Rihanna.
His eight nominations this year include "Video of the Year," "Best Hip-Hop," "Song of the Summer" and "VMAs Most Iconic Performance" for his legendary 2000 medley of "Real Slim Shady" and "The Way I Am," which featured a parade of more than 100 look-alikes dressed as him.
