Trailblazing groups En Vogue and Salt-N-Pepa have been added to the performance line-up for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
“Thirty years later, we’re still Pushing It all over the world and we’re still loved and celebrated by fans we grew up with as well as new fans,” Salt-N-Pepa said in a statement (via Billboard). “Looking back at all the barriers we’ve broken as women in this very male dominated genre of music, being the first two female rappers to break the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 is right up there as one of the best moments of our amazing career. We are blessed.”
The groups pairing with En Vogue is extra special, as the two joined forces back in 1994 for their hit single, “Whatta Man,’ which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.
The Billboard Awards will air on May 20 at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
