Ashanti, T.I. & Bow Wow Kick Off 2025 BET Awards With Nostalgic Ode to ‘106 & Park’


Ashanti, Jim Jones and Amerie kicked off the 2025 BET Awards with a performance paying homage to '106 & Park.'

Millennials were transported back to sitting in front of their living room televisions after school as Ashanti opened the awards show by performing “Rock Wit U” and “Foolish.” Rocking her signature thigh-high black boots, gleaming off the Peacock Theater stage, she passed the diamond-encrusted mic to Jim Jones, who stepped out in a Celine football jersey to rock the venue with his Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hit “We Fly High (Ballin’),” which had Nick Cannon and the rest of the crowd hitting their jump shot routine. 106 & Park co-hosts Terrence J, Free and Julissa Bermudez also reunited onstage to pay tribute to the platform that helped springboard their entertainment careers.
