Drake Leads BET Awards With 7 Nominations, GloRilla Follows With 6

If you’re in Los Angeles, you already know how lit the city gets when the BET Awards come around. Coming up at the end of the month, the Culture’s Biggest Night will air live on BET on Sunday, June 25th, at 5 pm PST. While each year, the BET Awards celebrate creative expression and Black excellence across music, TV, film, and sports, this year is even more special as we celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop.

Of course, Drake takes the throne yet again, leading the pack with seven nominations. GloRilla follows closely behind with six nominations, while 21 Savage and Lizzo boast five nominations. Beyonce, Burna Boy, Ice Spice, SZA, and Chris Brown have four nominations this year, while Cardi B, Coco Jones, Flo, Future, Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar, Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin, and Tems tie with three nominations each.

Drake’s nominations include Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, Best Group with 21 Savage, Best Collaboration’ with Future and Tems (“Wait for U”), Album of the Year, for Her Loss with 21 Savage, and Viewer’s Choice Award for “Jimmy Cook” with 21 Savage, and his feature on “Wait For You” with Future and Tems.
