Tired
Games getting tired how can cardi B Be nominated for a Grammy when she cannot rap,… they’re really lowering the bar for the music industry
Best New Artist male goes to Daniel Caesar,
Same way Taylor Swift can win Album of the year at the Grammys and can’t sing
I agree. It’s very tired. Same people nominated every year regardless if they have new material out. The EBT Awards should step their game up. Soul Train awards is better but gets less promo.
This is a tough one but I’m looking forward to the show.
This site is so lame. Always mentioning Beyoncé’s name first as if she’s a major nominee. She’s nominated for the same as Rihanna in the same category, but you didn’t mention her. And like her or not, but Cardi is the one with the most nominations with 7.
lmao Very true. Cardi’s picture should be front and center, roach shouldn’t even be in the picture lmao
Exactly! Any way to put beyonce in a post.
Beyonce been flopping all year! Why she nominated?
I love Bey but people are so corny the way they keep using her for clout. BET knows darn well “Top Off” should not have been nominated and ThatFlopJuice was so pressed to say she was nominated. Ugh, I’m over the pressed fakers.
Janelle Monae should’ve been nominated for best female instead of Kehlani. she has barely released any new music recently
Motorsport should’ve been nominated for best collaboration over Bartier Cardi or Top Off …. IMO ??♂️
Uhhh Why Is BEY and Rih Nominated ? They Don’t have an Album Or Neither New Single Out..
Lol I forgot bet was a channel and that this award show existed. Lol vh1 took a majority of the urban crowd from bet.
Why the hell is i overrated Beyoncé nominated payola is real sad smh
Top Off tore up Urban radio! This is an URBAN award show. That’s why it was nominated. Stay mad peasants! Lmao!!
Bruno mars is the best and deserve the awards
Hopefully J.Cole & Raphsody win something!!
Congratulations to all the nominates. Especially Card B nominated for most awards of the night with 7 nominations!!!!??????
