The more recent "Chun-LI" was backed by neon oriental props and saw the female rapper create a medley and dipped straight into "Rich Sex". While collaborator Lil Wayne didn't join her on stage, Minaj continued her performance and welcomed YG, 2 Chainz and Big Sean to perform their "Big Bank" collaboration, with Nicki Minaj performing her verse on a fake pink sparkly horse.

Singer/songwriter Janelle Monáe also performed at this year's BET Awards. Accompanied by a small dance troupe, Monáe kicked off with Dirty Computer's "Django Jane" that saw her and her troupe in checkered outfits and Monàe giving a passionate delivery. Monáe also announced the statement “Let the vagina have a monologue,” before slipping into anthem “I Like That”. Her "Django Jane" performance featured the familiar throne from her music video.
