The 2012 BET Awards has already labeled itself as “too big to miss,” but the network’s annual event might have just gotten a tad bit bigger. With a simple tweet from wardrobe team member Manuel Mendez, fans are buzzing about a suspected appearance by Beyonce at Sunday’s show. Manuel wrote: “What would the hottest chick in the game wear at #BETAwards? The hive is working working!! #Behive you wont be disappointed.” While there has been no official confirmation, it would only be fitting that the ‘Love on Top’ singer attend. Beyonce follows behind Kanye West with six nominations that include Best Female R&B Artist and Video of the Year. Beyonce will battle her husband for video of the year at the BET Awards, and now both performers are confirmed to attend. Beyonce is the second most nominated act. She’s up for six awards. Jay-Z is nominated for five. Kanye West leads the pack with seven. Two of West and Jay-Z’s collaborative songs are up for video of the year. Beyonce is also nominated twice in the category. The final nominee is Usher. Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Usher, Yolanda Adams, Jamie Foxx, Brandy, Melanie Fiona, Laz Alonso, Tyler Perry, a special tribute to Whitney Houston by Cissy Houston and more are set to perform. And Whitney Houston’s mother is part of a tribute for the late superstar that will include other singers. Jamie Foxx, Quentin Tarantino and Tyler Perry will present awards. Samuel L Jackson will host the show.
