BET has released a list of its nominees for the 16th annual BET Hip Hop Awards scheduled to hold next month.
While Nigerian rapper, Ladipoe and South African rapper Nasty C were nominated in the Best International Flow category, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion led the nominations for this year’s Hip Hop Awards, with nine nods each.
Megan similarly dominated at the 2021 BET Awards earlier this year, having dropped both Good News and Suga in 2020.
Drake garnered eight nominations across seven categories, including Hip Hop Artist of the Year and Song of the Year. His album Certified Lover Boy is not nominated for Hip Hop Album of the Year, having missed the cut-off date for 2021’s ceremony, per BET.
Moneybagg Yo, Tyler, the Creator, Migos, Megan Thee Stallion, DJ Khaled, 21 Savage & Metro Boomin, and J. Cole all got nods for Hip Hop Album of the Year with their latest respective releases. Lil Nas X also notched two nominations for his track “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” while Tyler has rightfully gotten four nods following the release of his latest album Call Me If You Get Lost.
