Ahead of this year’s VMAs, MTV & Bacardi partnered for a limited-edition Hip-Hop 50 bottle alongside a tasty drink menu for your watch parties.
Tonight the 2023 Video Music Awards aka the VMA’s will go down live from New Jersey’s Prudential Center. MTV will air the main show at 8 p.m. EST on their channel. If you’ve got Paramount+ the show will be live-streamed in the app as well. Our host for the evening will be the Queen Nicki Minaj who will likely host it unscripted due to the ongoing writers’ strike. Additionally Diddy, Doja Cat, Cardi B alongside Megan Thee Stallion and others will perform. To Celebrate the night and Hip-Hop’s 50-year anniversary MTV partnered with Bacardi for a limited edition bottle.
