Global rap icon Eminem is set to return to the MTV Video Music Awards, opening the 2024 show live from New York\u2019s UBS Arena on Wednesday, September 11th at 8 PM ET\/PT. The 15-time GRAMMY\u00ae winner will deliver the first TV performance of tracks from his newly released 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eminem, who is tied with Peter Gabriel for the most Moon Persons wins, last opened the VMAs in 2010 with a memorable rendition of \u201cNot Afraid\u201d and a powerful duet with Rihanna for \u201cLove the Way You Lie.\u201d This year, he leads with eight nominations, including \u201cVideo of the Year,\u201d \u201cBest Hip-Hop,\u201d \u201cSong of the Summer,\u201d and \u201cVMAs Most Iconic Performance\u201d for his 2000 medley featuring over 100 look-alikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Securing even one win would cement Eminem’s legacy as the most celebrated male artist in VMA history. He already holds the record for the most wins by a rap artist and, with 67 nominations, is the second most-nominated artist, trailing only Madonna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other notable VMAs moments include Eminem\u2019s 2022 performance with Snoop Dogg, inspired by the Otherside metaverse, and his surprise 2012 appearance during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg\u2019s performance of \u201cForgot About Dre\u201d and \u201cStill D.R.E.\u201d Eminem first made his mark at the 1999 VMAs with a performance of \u201cGuilty Conscience\u201d and \u201cMy Name Is,\u201d winning \u201cBest New Artist.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
