Hotties, get ready for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

On Aug. 22, MTV revealed Megan Thee Stallion will serve as the host of this year's VMAs, where she's nominated for five awards.

The "Mamushi" rapper received nods for the upcoming ceremony, including best collaboration for "Wanna Be" with GloRilla as well as best hip-hop, best visual effects, best direction and best art direction for "Boa."

Nicki Minaj hosted the previous two VMAs ceremonies.

Nominations for the 2024 MTV VMAs were led by Taylor Swift with 10, followed by Post Malone with nine, while Sabrina Carpenter, Eminem and Ariana Grande each earned six.

Katy Perry will be honored at the ceremony with the coveted video vanguard award, and she will perform a medley of hits from her catalog — plus, presumably, some new material from her upcoming 143 album.

Other performers at this year's VMAs will include Carpenter, Benson Boone, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, LISA of Blackpink and Rauw Alejandro.

The 2024 MTV VMAs air live from the UBS Arena in New York at 8 p.m. ET.

Megan's hosting gig comes shortly after the release of her self-titled third album in June. The project has spawned multiple hits, including the chart-topping "Hiss" and viral "Mamushi" with Yuki Chiba.

The "WAP" rapper also recently wrapped her Hot Girl Summer Tour in July. During the final show of the run at the O2 Arena in London, she brought out Chiba, 34, as a surprise guest for the debut live performance of "Mamushi."

Since its release on Megan's latest album, the bilingual song has gone viral on TikTok, where it's soundtracked more than 1.8 million videos, and reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The NSFW "Mamushi" music video dropped earlier this month.

Titled after a snake found in Japan, the track is one of several on Megan's latest album to feature a snake motif, as others include "Boa," "Hiss," "Rattle" and "Cobra."

Megan opened up about why the reptile influenced her latest era in a May interview with L'Officiel USA. "We don't just stop at the snake. This is just what everybody sees right now. Renewal, rebirth: that is the whole concept of this [album]," she told the outlet.

"We started with the snake because, first of all, I love snakes, but I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in western culture," added Megan. "Snakes represent rebirth, spirituality."

She continued, "I'm not really a person that's like, Oh my God, sunshine and just super bubbly, happy. I like darker things. I like things that are a little scary. I like things that are unique. I picked the snake because… it's kind of like an antihero."
