Shortly after it was announced that the duo would be hosting the gig, the two released separate, equally excited statements.

"It is my honor to host the Billboard Music Awards for the third year and a pleasure to host with my good friend Ciara," Ludacris explained. "I'm looking forward to another great show in a new and exciting venue." Ciara added, "The Billboard Music Awards is one of best awards shows to honor chart success. My great friend Ludacris and I have also shared songs together on the Billboard chart. I look forward to sharing the stage with him on this special night. It will definitely be a night to remember!"
