French Montana, Max B, and Rick Ross Shine at the BET Awards 2026
Max B and French Montana brought their New York City flair to the stage at the BET Awards 2026 with a lively performance of their hit song “Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf).” The duo, accompanied by a group of female dancers, showcased their energy and style, with Max B sporting an all-black outfit and delivering a standout verse. The performance took a dynamic turn when Rick Ross joined them on stage for “Minks In Miami,” adding to the excitement with lavish fur coats and pyrotechnics.
The song “Ever Since U Left Me (I Went Deaf)” has been a major success for French Montana and Max B, marking a triumphant return for the duo following Max B's release from prison. The track, which features a prominent sample of “That’s the Way (I Like It)” by KC and the Sunshine Band, has topped the Billboard US Rhythmic Airplay chart and spawned remixes with Ty Dolla Sign and Remy Ma. French Montana and Max B were also nominated in the Best Group category at the BET Awards.
Rick Ross made a memorable appearance at the BET Awards 2026, marking his fifth performance at the event and his first in over a decade. The last time he graced the BET Awards stage was in 2012, where he performed alongside Meek Mill and Wale. Ross’ performance highlighted his enduring presence in the music industry and celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Port of Miami, which catapulted him to stardom with hits like “Hustlin’.”
