Hip-hop legend and mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to receive the prestigious Global Icon Award and deliver a performance at the 2023 “VMAs.” The event will be broadcast live from New Jersey’s Prudential Center on Tuesday, September 12th at 8 PM ET/PT.
Diddy’s remarkable career and lasting influence, spanning over three decades with two #1 albums on the Billboard 200 and five #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, have earned him the Global Icon Award. This appearance marks his highly anticipated return to the iconic MTV stage since 2005.
In addition to this honor, Diddy is nominated for four other awards this year for his work on “Creepin” (Remix) and “Gotta Move On,” including two
for “Best Collaboration,” as well as “Best Rap” and “Best R&B.”
The Global Icon Award, originally from MTV’s Europe Music Awards (EMAs), recognizes artists or bands with unparalleled careers and global influence. Diddy also hosted the MTV Europe Music Award in 2002.
Diddy’s history with the “VMAs” includes memorable moments dating back to his debut performance of “Mo Money Mo Problems” in 1997 and hosting the event in 2005. He has won Moon Person awards for “Best R&B Video” (1997) and “Viewer’s Choice” (1998) during his first year as a nominee.
