Ciara released a remix of "Level Up" with Elliott and Fatman Scoop in July. She and Elliott have collaborated on several other singles, including "Lose Control," "1, 2 Step" and "Work."
"She's iconic," Ciara said of the rapper in an interview with The Thread in 2015. "And for all the work she's done, still humble ... She always gives me solid advice and things that come from her heart."
Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Mariah Carey, Halsey and Carrie Underwood are among the other 2018 AMAs performers. Cardi B and Drake lead the nominations.
