The BRIT Awards 2019 with Mastercard today announce that South London rapper Ms Banks is to join pop superstars Little Mix for an exclusive collaboration on the show later this month.

Having landed tour spots with Wiley, Cardi B, Migos and Nicki Minaj - who gave her a much-publicised shout out on Twitter before inviting her on her upcoming UK dates - Ms Banks dropped her debut mixtape ‘Once Upon A Grind’ in 2014, followed by collaborations with Tinie Tempah and Stormzy. Her latest mixtape, ‘The Coldest Winter Ever’ was released last Spring, and her new track ‘Hood B*tch’ is out now.

Little Mix said: “Let’s do this! Can’t wait to team up with Ms Banks and bring some female British sass to the stage!”

Ms Banks said: “Can’t wait to perform with the girls, I just love women who know what they want and aren’t afraid to go for it, their whole aura screams FIERCE!!!”

The BRIT Awards 2019 with Mastercard take place Wednesday 20th February at The O2 Arena, London, broadcast exclusively on ITV. Other performers confirmed to date: Calvin Harris with Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and Rag’n’Bone Man, Jess Glynne with H.E.R., The 1975, George Ezra, and Jorja Smith.
