The slate at the 2014 BET Awards just got a little more star power, as Kerry Washington and Robin Thicke have been added to the lineup.
Thicke will perform a new single.
Joining the pop star will be previously announced performers Pharrell Williams, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz and Lionel Richie. Kevin Hart is set to appear at the show, as was Tracy Morgan, which seems unlikely following last week’s tragic accident that left the comedian in critical condition and killed fellow comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair.
