Queen Latifah is set to perform a tribute to Quincy Jones at the 2025 Academy Awards.

During a press conference on Wednesday (February 26), it was revealed that the hip-hop star will be part of a tribute to the legendary producer and composer, who died aged 91 last November.

“One of the most exciting things I think that we’ve worked on this year is a musical performance that will tribute Quincy Jones,” he said (via Billboard). “[Jones] was the recipient of one of our Governors Awards [last] year, and we’ve planned and curated this beautiful moment that we hope will uplift the room, that will celebrate the spirit of Quincy and all of his greatness, and we are happy to say that Queen Latifah is part of that performance.

“You’ll have to tune in Sunday to see what we have in store, but it’s a beautiful moment, and we think it will make everybody feel really good.”

It’s already been confirmed that Doja Cat, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and RAYE will perform during the ceremony, while Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are rumoured to open the show with a ‘Wicked’ medley.

Addressing additional performers set to appear, Kapoor added: “I mean we absolutely love the element of surprise. What I can say is (that even with) every presenter and every performer that’s already been announced, there’s still more to come.

“There are people that are not going to be announced. You will have to keep a sharp eye out for a few different cameos that happen throughout the evening.”

Over the course of his career, Jones received seven Academy Awards nominations and was also presented with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1995 and an Academy Honorary Award last year.

The 2025 Oscars will Oscars ceremony will be hosted by Conan O’Brien from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 2.
