Orlando expressed her confidence in Palmer’s ability to highlight the soul artists in the lineup, and in her overall engaging and lovable personality.

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,” Orlando said.

It has also been announced that Orlando is overseeing the Soul Train Awards, with Jamal Noisette, Jesse Collins, Jeannae Rouzan-Clay, and Dionne Harmon of Jesse Collins Entertainment serving as executive producers.
This announcement comes shortly after Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against her former boyfriend and the father of her young son, Darius Jackson.
