Pretty much the same overrated people that always win
Who else did you expect to win ?
Seem to be pick the light skin or white artist list.
^^ THINGS THAT INSECURE DARK SKIN PPL SAY BC THE EUROPEANS MADE THEM FEEL A WAY ABOUT NOT BEING LIGHT OR “PASSABLE”.
Ohhh, now when I said that Oscars and Grammys were racially bias, your Uncle Tom ass was in denial. But now that the BET Awards is the topic if discussion, you wanna be all up in arms….so which one is it?
*of
Smh That’s something an INSECURE dark skin person would day, I mind you, i’m dark skin myself. Love yourself boo.
This also explains why you are so bitter and angry all the time. It also explains why you are always attacking “DEL BEY, and SLAYHIVE”.
Once again boo, LOVE YOURSELF. The color of someone’s skin doesn’t make them better or worse.
???????????????? Makes so much sense. Nothing wrong with being dark skin at all. I LOVE dark skin men???????? Black is beautiful in all shades. Some are just bitter and hateful. Its sad! Smh
looks about accurate, however fetty wap will most likely win “best new artist”
… and lol @David he tried it with that iggy photo, trying to cause a commotion.
Nicki wins every year as she rightfully should.
MONICA “Just right for me” debuts at #50 with no promotion or official release…
LOL WHO CARES ABOUT THAT WASHED UP, BALD HEADED FLOP? STFU
Girl you’re angry AF. Lol… I was making sure Grapejuice reported ACTUAL stories that matter instead of trolling for clicks. Ex: this post really has nothing to do with Iggy YET her pic is the main photo. as far you, go suck a big 1
I love the song, and that’s my girl, she always stays true to herself.
Who?
Since Sam Smith is used as a filler for the Best new artist category, the most streamed artist would be Tinashe!
SAM WENT PLATINUM. TITANIUM DIDN’T.
KII AT THIS POINTLESS ARTICLE.
I don’t think Sam smith should win because he’s not black or urban it should go to Rae sremmurd they had a great album !
Sam’s music is black though. He deserve to win.
Music can be a color, it’s soulful
Other than Sam smith I see no lies , Nicki killed all them thots in that category with PP , Chris Brown had X, which won a Grammy & He released FOF , Beyoncé slayed everyone in her category with flawless remix last year & 7/11 , & Drake ……idk I personally think Big Sean & Cold had the better albums and Drakes album was practically a “Mixtape” but who knows what will happen bet can SOMETIMES surprise us with these awards
When did X win a Grammy??? ????????
I forgot about Fetty Wop lol
I think Tinashe should win best new artist…. She’s the only one on that list that has been working her ass off this year, whether or not her label was gone help. She deserves it!
Ok…no lies were told. Who tf else would you suggest?
Beyonce, Nicki,Chris, and Drake all slayed in their own lanes.
The only nomination I disagree with is Sam Smiths. Rae Smremmurd just might go home with that one.
Congrats to all! I’m actually kinda excited about the BET awards this year. We have Janet’s return and hopefully Beyonce makes a surprise appearance.
Congrats on who ever wins. I’m really looking forward to the Janet tribute though.
Is this the BET awards or the crossed over awards. You can get away with the most popular at the AMA or Billboard Awards, but BET and other core awards should award the most taneted, but the most successful. Why should we respect them, the side that they sold out with don’t. I recall the Soul Train Awards letting Whitney win and she was booed, because she wasn’t R&B, she was pop. What R&b song did CB release to win or even get a nom? Beyonce is fine, Nicki, sure. But Drake?! J.Cole CLEARLY had the best album, 2nd is Lamar. In that case, Jason should be nom for best r&b. I’m sick of the sell outs taking control when they brought NOTHING to the R&B and Hip Hop genres.
.
And for me to point that out, I hate my nice, smooth, snickers bar color skin? When Dark Black men are popping? Get a grip.
*Eye Roll*
For the most part, they did an exceptional job picking the nominees for each category.
As a J Cole fan also, I can say that the rap category is arguable. Out of all of them thats the only debatable one given that Cole, Drake, Kendrick, Wale, Big Sean, and a vet like Common are all doing big things and bringing it back for the REAL Hip Hop heads.
So stop it.
The categories says BEST so these are my winners:
Male R&B: The Weeknd
Female R&B: Beyoncé or Jhene Aiko
Male Rap: J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar
Female Rap: Any of the girls except Iggy or Trina
New Artist: Tinashe (like I said BEST doesn’t mean most successful or overrated, her album slayed everyone on that list and its universally critically acclaimed)
Nicki should be winning it, I could even settle for Banks in it and it’s just a big fat NO to Sam Smith getting anything, Bey also deserves the RnB award. Cole should be getting the Male Hip hop one, not Drakeisha that mixtape was trash compared to 2014 Forest Hills drive.
Ya’ll can add me on instagram if you like, @Nieem_
All looks well to me. I really hope Sam Smith win best new artist. He has the sales, and talent to prove it. I was about to say, why dont BET just give Nicki the award off telecast, but i see its her vs Iggy now. So let the battle begin.
OH I forgot, J Cole best hip hop and The Weekend best male r&b/pop.
We’re not in 2014. Nicki vs iggy was last year. N the BET awards aren’t about popularity or sales, they’re about talent. This aint the VMAs, AMAs or BB awards.
All about talent?? ???????????????? BET is mostly about power and popularity, point blank period. Queen Bey is my fav of all time but why do u think she gets awards and nominated, when sometimes she didnt have anything out? Power & Popularity.
That’s one of the biggest things I hate about this awards show. Always the same artists over and over again.
I hope Tinashe, The Weeknd, and Jhené Aiko win. Beyonce had her year last year. They should let another artist be recognized. But I highly doubt she will win
Word has it that lil Kim is suppose to present the award for Best Female Hip Hop Artist. If this is true then I don’t think they’re giving it to Nicki I mean they’re messy but not that messy
Congrats to all those artists that will win their award @ the bet show awards
Nicki doesn’t deserve the award TECHNICALLY iggy does…Nicki promoted her album for over 2yrs and it’s not even platinum …and she still doesn’t have a billboard hit for her album that’s in the top 5 or even #1…i do not wanna see Nicki get another award over some b*******…give someone else a chance
Makes sense I don’t know why Iggy Azalea is there???? but whatever floats their boat!
