Quote'106 & Park' to Celebrate 25th Anniversary With Host Reunion & Performances at 2025 BET Awards
106 & Park is back, at least for one night. On Tuesday (May 6), BET announced that 106 & Park is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a host reunion and a night of special performances at the 2025 BET Awards.
AJ Calloway, Free, Julissa Bermudez, Keshia Chanté, Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J will be packing on the nostalgia with a reunion after raising a generation of millennial rap and R&B fans.
"106 & Park was more than just a music countdown show — it was the heartbeat of Black youth culture and one of the highest rated BET programs for over a decade," BET president Scott Mills said in a statement. "From Freestyle Friday to unforgettable live performances, it launched careers, influenced fashion,and became a platform where voices, style and sound converged. 106 & Park both celebrated and fueled many of the most important musical and culture evolutions that occurred during its two-and-a-half-decade tenure."
On the performance side, Mr. 106 & Park himself, Bow Wow, will hit the stage with B2K, Mya, Amerie, Jim Jones and T.I. on June 9. The BET Awards will kick off at the family of BET Networks at 8 p.m. ET.
"106 & Park served as a cultural touchstone, embodying the energy, creativity and authenticity of a generation," stated Connie Orlando, who serves as the EVP of Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET. "It provided artists a direct connection to their fans, transforming everyday moments into lasting memories. The show's legacy continues to influence how we engage with music, connect with talent and celebrate Black creativity. We are thrilled to commemorate 25 years of this iconic series at this year's BET Awards."
There will be plenty of activations for fans to get in on the festivities in Los Angeles for culture's biggest week. The BET Fan Fest (BETX) will be set up at the L.A. Convention Center with the 106 & Park stage throughout the weekend on June 7 and June 8, leading into the BET Awards.
Launched on Sept. 11, 2000, 106 & Park enjoyed a fruitful run filled with appearances from music's biggest stars, and went off the air after a 14-year run in 2014.

No Kevin Hart is the host.
This is a segment in the show to celebrate 106 & Park 25th Anniversary and legacy. They're reuniting the hosts, probably looking at unforgettable moments that happened, and a few performances from artists that were 106 & Park mainstays.

It would've been iconic to have them fully host the show

free responded in the comments
Said she had tooth surgery today but will be there with them tomorrow 😻
Teyana Taylor will serve as creative director for this tribute.
I wonder if AJ will throw on his Braid/lox lacefront wig just for some added nostalgia! :dead:
