Lisa to Make Solo Debut at MTV VMAs
BLACKPINK member LISA will make her solo debut at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) this year, joining international stars like Benson Boone, Halsey, and Lenny Kravitz in the second lineup announcement.
Scheduled for Wednesday, September 11, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, the event will take place at New York’s UBS Arena. LISA, who is currently enjoying success with her singles “Rockstar” and “New Woman,” the latter a collaboration with Rosalía, will perform for the first time as a solo artist at the VMAs.
This appearance marks a significant moment for LISA, following her historic win in 2022 as the first solo female K-pop artist to receive a VMA. This year, she is nominated for four awards, including “Best K-pop” and “Best Choreography” for “Rockstar.”
Since leaving YG Entertainment and launching her own company, LLOUD, in early 2024, LISA has gained full creative control over her music. Her recent single “New Woman” set records with over six million Spotify streams on its debut day and has been a major success on YouTube and iTunes globally.

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
“It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.”
She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
