The 2018 BET Awards nominations were just announced. And it's going to be a BATTLE. Who ya got?! Deets inside...
This may be a first, but DJ Khaled is leading the pack with nominations. It's not everyday a music producer scoops up more awards than the actual artists, but here we are.
The superproducer raked in a total 6 nominations, including ‘Video of the Year,’ two for ‘Best Collaboration,’ with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller for ‘Wild Thoughts,’ and with Jay-Z, Future and Beyoncé for ‘Top Off,’ ‘Album of the Year,’ and ‘Coca-Cola Viewer’s Choice.’ Coming in 2nd place, Kendrick Lamar follows with five nods including ‘Best Collaboration,’ with Rihanna for ‘Loyalty.,’ ‘Video of the Year,’ ‘Album of the Year,’ and ‘Coca-Cola Viewers’ Choice.’
Other leading nominees include Migos, nominated for four awards including ‘Best Group,’ and ‘Album of the Year,” and SZA, also nominated for four awards, including ‘Best Female R&B/Pop Artist’ and ‘Best New Artist.’
Speaking of that Album of The Year category, which is arguably the biggest of the night:
Kendrick, SZA, Jay-Z, Migos, Khaled & The Black Panther Soundtrack are going into an epic Wakanda style battle. That's gonna be a tough one.
Cardi B is also in the running for several awards, including 'Best Female Hip Hop Artist.'
