On Thursday (June 8), BET announced the nominees for the 23rd annual BET Awards, with Drake and GloRilla leading the pack.
The “Search & Rescue” rapper clocks in at seven nominations, including best male hip-hop artist, best male R&B/pop artist, best group with 21 Savage and album of the year for Her Loss with 21 Savage. Like Drake, GloRilla’s nominations are split pretty evenly between solo and collaborative efforts, including best female hip hop artist, best new artist, album of the year for Anyways, Life’s Great, video of the year for “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B, and two nominations for best collaboration (“F.N.F. Let’s Go” and “Tomorrow 2”).
Last year, GloRilla took home best breakthrough hip hop artist of the year award at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
Following GloRilla and Drake, 21 Savage and Lizzo boast the third-highest number of nominations, with five each, and are followed by Beyoncé, Burna Boy, Chris Brown, Ice Spice and SZA, with four nominations each.
Voting for the Viewer’s Choice categories will commence on June 8 and end the day of the show, June 25, at 6:30 PM PT.
