The Super Bowl Gospel Celebration is heading into its 19th year with a star-studded lineup poised to bring inspiration to the Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.

The star-studded show will be hosted by by NAACP Image Award®-nominated actress from HBO’s hit show Insecure Yvonne Orji, and gospel singer and star the OWN Network show The Book of John Gray Pastor John Gray. In addition to amazing music, the event will also honorNFL players Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks Quarterback) with the 2018 Faith in Action Award and Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals Wide Receiver) will receive the 2018 NFL Lifetime Inspiration Award.

It’s worth repeating that Snoop Dogg will be in the building. Instead of bringing his well-known west coast rap lyrics, he is debuting his forthcoming gospel album release, Snoop Dogg Presents the Bible of Love. As part of his exclusive performance, he has assembled an all-star ensemble of artists that will join him on stage including R&B singer Faith Events, gospel singer Tye Tribbett, gospel vocal group The Clark Sisters, and gospel musician Rance Allen.
The Gospel is for EVERYONE! We are excited that @SnoopDogg featuring @FaithEvans, @TyeTribbett, @RealRanceAllen and @TheClarkSisters will perform songs from his new album “Bible of Love” during #SuperBowlGospel Celebration. Tune in to watch on #BET, Sat. Feb. 3rd. #SuperBowl52 pic.twitter.com/cZdqnWXULk
