B2K Announces 2026 Reunion Tour
After teasing a reunion for the past few years with rare appearances that always go viral, B2K has confirmed exclusively with VIBE that they're back and going on tour. Boog, Omarion, Fizz, and Raz will be hitting the road in Spring 2026— seven years after the group came together for 2019's The Millennium Tour. The group has shared details about their upcoming endeavor with Black Promoters Collective, joked about fans being 'pretty aggressive' about them popping out, and how they knew they couldn't tease their long-awaited reunion any longer. '[The tour] was presented to us, but it was definitely something that we wanted to do that we had talked about and it just came together the right way,' Boog explained. 'It's for the fans, you know what I mean? Of course, we have a ball performing for everybody. The best time is when we on stage together. But yeah, this is for the fans.' Most recently, the band surprised fans at the 2025 Millennium Tour with a nostalgic performance of 'Uh Huh,' 'Bump Bump Bump,' 'Girlfriend,' and 'Why I Love You.' What fans can expect with this upcoming tour, compared to the Millennium Tour, is more B2K deep cuts. O hinted, 'I would say we're going to go deeper into our bag and really bring back that energy that people saw when they first was introduced to [us.] I do also want to add to what Boog was saying. We realize and we recognize that where we are in our career and all of the people that has ever supported us, what time we in. We're in a special time in music, and it's so cool. We honor that, our fans, and the people that started on our journey with us. So it is that time again.' Raz chimed in, noting, 'This tour would encapsulate the essence of B2K. We are really challenging ourselves.' He later joked about the 'Ice Box' crooner doing a backflip, for nostalgia's sake, but O laughed it off while commenting about his age. With them still piecing together tour essentials like the perfect setlist, Raz admitted that they want fans' input on 'how we create this amazing tour.' While mentioning fan favorites that weren't singles, B2K opened up about what a record like 'Boys 4 Life' off their sophomore album, Pandemonium!, means to them today. 'The song tells it all,' Fizz expressed. 'You know what I mean? And we're here today, so it speaks a lot of truth and it holds a lot of substance. So maybe it's time for part two.' Boog added, 'We all understand that life is a journey. And us being four boys that started out at 14 years old in this industry, that can be crazy. It's just a testament to say, no matter what we've been through, we're still here. We may not see things the same way all the time, and we may have our spats, but we ain't going to never not have each other's back. That's one bond that can't be broken. No matter what we go through, we're still going to come back together and be bros if we've got to fight the world. I think that's what Boys For Life really embodies. At the end of the day, we're going to always be here for each other.' Anticipation for B2K's tour grew even further after the group performed at the 2025 BET Awards as part of the 106 & Park tribute. The quartet described their performance as a 'full circle moment,' with O quipping, 'I mean, if somebody would've told me 15 years ago 'Y'all going to be performing [in a 106 & Park anniversary tribute],' I'd have been like, 'Man, what are you talking about?' So it's definitely a moment for me.' For more information about future tour announcements, tickets, and exclusive content, check out the tour's official website.

B2K's 'Bump Bump Bump' performance at BET Awards has Diddy, R. Kelly connections
B2K's 'Bump Bump Bump' performance at BET Awards has Diddy, R. Kelly connections Show Caption Hide Caption SZA, Kendrick Lamar win big at 2025 BET Awards Kendrick Lamar won Album of the Year for his critically acclaimed GNX LP and Mariah Carey performed her hit song 'It's Like That' at the BET Awards. Cover Media Sunday night's BET Awards hit heavy on the nostalgia, bringing back hip-hop and R&B stars from the early aughts to revive a sound not quite like any other. To honor the "TRL"-style music video countdown show "106 & Park," a slate of big-name performers took the stage for a 20-minute beat-pounding medley. Amid mini-sets from Ashanti and Keyshia Cole, boy band B2K treated the audience to a rendition of their 2002 club anthem "Bump Bump Bump." Complete with synchronized dance moves and all white 'fits, the four-man music group leaned heavily into their classic boy band appeal. Jamie Foxx cries in BET Awards speech about health, credits daughters with recovery Eagle-eyed fans were quick to tease out a more sordid history of the track. "Bump Bump Bump" was originally released with a feature from Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently on trial for federal sex crimes. Combs' influence on hip-hop, especially in the early 2000s, was so far-reaching that it's hard to hit shuffle without running into one of his projects. The group is composed of J-Boog, Raz-B, Omarion and Lil' Fizz, who, rather than play an audio recording of Combs' part, rapped it in his place. The story goes deeper, though. The track was also originally written by R. Kelly, who, like Combs, faced sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and is now serving time in prison after being convicted on all counts. Several high-profile rappers also remixed the song, including 50 Cent and Jay-Z. Blue Ivy Carter reclaims her title, wins BET YoungStars Award once again amid Beyoncé tour 50 Cent is a longtime rival of Combs and has been making an internet mockery of his ongoing legal challenges. Jay-Z was looped in with Combs in a recent lawsuit that accused both rappers for rape, though the case has since been dropped, with Jay-Z denying all wrongdoing and filing a countersuit against his former accuser. As Combs, once a kingmaker in the genre, faces a reputation forever sullied, B2K's performance is a preview of how difficult it may be to avoid his art.

2025 BET Awards Delivers ‘106 & Park' Reunion With Original Hosts And Nostalgic Performances
The 2025 BET Awards pulled out all the nostalgic stops to celebrate its 25th anniversary, delivering a history-making moment with a long-anticipated 106 & Park reunion. Complete with a replica of the original set staged inside Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, the tribute brought back fan-favorite hosts Free, Julissa Bermudez, Keshia Chanté, Big Tigger, and Terrence J to honor the iconic music countdown show that shaped an era of Black culture. Their reunion wasn't just a walk down memory lane — it set the tone for a night charged with throwback energy and unforgettable performances. Ashanti took the stage with her timeless hit 'Unfoolish,' followed by Jim Jones turning the entire theater into a sea of invisible jump shots with his anthem 'Ballin.' Amerie, Mya, and Keyshia Cole reminded the world why women in 2000s R&B still reign supreme, as T.I. returned with royal flair, reminding everyone why he still is the 'King of the South.' And then there was B2K — who had grown women screaming like it was 2002 all over again with 'Bump, Bump, Bump.' But the moment that sealed it all came when Bow Wow, affectionately known as 'Mr. 106 & Park,' closed the tribute with 'Like You' and 'Fresh Azimiz' — cementing his legacy as one of the show's most memorable artists and former hosts. More than a trip down memory lane, the reunion was a full-circle celebration of the show that helped define a generation. 106 & Park wasn't just television — it was a hub that launched careers, championed Black culture, and gave young, Black audiences a stage to see themselves. 'BET and 106 & Park created this iconic culture,' Terrence J told VIBE. 'A brand. A legacy. And to sit here 25 years later, trading stories and realizing how many lives were impacted, it's surreal.' Hosted by Kevin Hart and packed with standout performances from Lil Wayne, Teyana Taylor, GloRilla, Mariah Carey, and more, the 2025 BET Awards connected the past, present, and future all on one stage.
