Though the awards ceremony is being held, it won’t air until November 26th on BET and BET HER.

“Keke Palmer is a globally recognized multihyphenate talent who embodies confidence and positivity, and is one of the most engaging and lovable personalities working in entertainment today,” Connie Orlando, BET exec. vp specials, music programming & music strategy, shared in a press release. “We can’t wait to have her host the Soul Train Awards house party. BET gave Keke her first talk show, where she made history as the youngest talk show host in television, and today we are honored to have her back on the Soul Train Awards stage. As always, expect our star-studded slate of soulful artists and can’t-miss moments to illuminate your screens for a night dedicated to soul music.”

This marks Keke‘s first red carpet appearance since filing a restraining order against ex Darius Jackson and requesting sole custody of their son Leo. She was granted both the restraining order and temporary full custody of their child.
