The award show was hosted by LL Cool J. He acknowledged the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine: “Before we continue, I want to send love and support to the people of Ukraine.”
“Our prayers are with the innocent people who have lost their lives as the result of this terrible war and with the Ukrainian citizens. They are all living through this crisis every day and I think it’s very important that we send our prayers and our love to them and let them know that we stand with them.”
“We join the Ukrainian people and wish you a speedy and just resolution.”
