The show must go on!
In a bid to celebrate and uplift, the BET Awards 2020 are set to broadcast virtually on Sunday June 28th.
As always, all eyes are on who’ll be up for nominations at Black entertainment’s biggest calendar night. A ceremony that’s even more notable this year, given that it’s the show’s 20th anniversary and the 40th anniversary of the network.
Well, wonder no more. For, the nominees list has been revealed.
Much like the charts, Drake leads the pack with a whopping six nominations.
Following closely are 2020 chart-toppers Megan Thee Stallion and Roddy Ricch – who’ve both nabbed five a piece.
Elsewhere, the likes of Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B are amongst the stars who also scooped notable noms at show – which will air simultaneously across BET, MTV, VH1 and for the first time CBS.

Another year nicki won’t win any awards 🤣
You’re obsessed with Nicki, always got her c*** in ya mouth under every damn post smh undercover fan ass always hating. She’s literally the most awarded female rapper there so stfu
😂 Chile, if The Weeknd doesn’t WIN Best Male R&B/Pop Artist then we ALL know this thing is RIGGED like the 2016 elections 🤣 In what world do the OTHERS even have a chance in hell? 😂
I think they should rename this BET Awards show and call it the Beyonce Music Awards show.
Why?
Because she is dominating almost the entire music industry.
My humble opinion.
Or name the female R&B/Pop Artist category the Beyonce Knowles Carter Award but that’ll be later just wait.
They always give everything to Beyoncé even when it should go to others. They kiss her a** so much.
It’s an ass that’s worth a thousand kisses
Damn, even BET awards paid f******* dust
Not 1 nominated.
🤣🤣🤣
Normani already won a VMA without even having an album out. Not many have that accomplishment 😉☺️
🤣🤣🤣
Vma was not solo
6black impact
🤣🤣🤣
She won a vma for a song that didnt chart. Lol
Every award Camila has won was given because of a collaboration. She’s only won awards for senorita and Havana. You’re a loser
Vma- artist of the year, was solo
2 Grammy nominations-
Best pop solo performance- Havana (live version without young thug)
Best pop vocal album (Camila)
America music award
Best new artist of the year
MTV Europe music awards
Best pop
Best artist
Best USA act
Brit awards
Best international female
💅💅
Gurl Camila’s solo awards are plenty. I cant even list them.
Normani has never won any solo awards.
Brit nomination was not solo, sam Smith impact
Rolling stone magazine cover was not solo
Vma award was not solo
She has no solo top 10 hit
Her 2 top 10 songs, was Khalid and sam Smith impact.
Now bet awards has paid the rat dust. Lol
A lot of tough categories, but why tf is Lizzo’s ass up under bet female rapper tho smh she belongs under best female pop/ R&B not rapper. You don’t see Drake nominated for best R&B/ pop now do ya. They better not give all them awards to Nipsy jus cuz he passed tho. They never nominated his music while he had air in his lungs smh.
Doja Cat didn’t deserve a nomination but then again, old white men do run BET.
Say so is one of the biggest songs of the year
Nobody cares about personal scandals.
Who is this “nobody” you peak of, because BET most DEFINITELY cares about personal scandals. Get tf ASAP.
No nominations for f*******
Even a flop award like BET awards isnt checking for her. 💀
Her
Saweetie
Megan thee stallion
Lil nas x
None of this people have released a studio album but they are nominated.
Even blue ivy Carter got a nomination before f*******.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Black people are not checking for f*******
I didn’t know bet awards had standards.
They font nominate flops. Lol
The only thing normani has going on for her is the Camila cabello hate train.
She is ridding that hate train but that train ain’t going nowhere.
Anyways
Most streamed songs by lead female artist on Spotify:
#1. “Dance M*****” — @tonesandimusic
#2. “Havana” — @Camila_Cabello
#3. “Señorita” — @Camila_Cabello
#4. “Bad Guy” — @billieeilish
#5. “New Rules” — @DUALIPA
#6. “7 Rings” — @ArianaGrande
#7. “Shallow” — @ladygaga .
💅💅💅💅
Number 2 and number 3.
I see why the girls are mad and want to take Camila down.
Camila’s solo career is just 3 years old.
Are you camila because dang. You literally obsessing over her in these comments. I sure hope she is paying you. Btw keep NORMANI’S name out your mouth. She’s more talented, better looking, and better shaped than cantholdanote cabello
Beyoncé just nominated for the sake of it 😂🤦🏽♀️ I can’t stand EBT awards.
That’s why I don’t like the BET awards. They nominate Beyonce over and over. Even when she doesn’t have new music. That’s a disservice to more deserving artists.
Exactly
Beyonce is so damn overrated they just be making up stuff so she can get nominated sad how people kiss her ass so much and funny thing is you’d think she was going diamond up until recently had no number one for how many years smh overrated ass
No noms for Savage/Suga? 🤔 when’s the deadline for submissions? This is weird
Why isn’t kmichelle any where on this list like wtf
June feels really late to recognize work that goes back to the previous summer. But I couldn’t care less when they air it, because the nomination list and winners are always predictable. They need to open it up to more artists and cut back on the typical ones they rely on for ratings – create a balance.
I’m sorry but why is Beyonce nominated for anything. All these award shows are rigged. She gets nominated for and win awards and she doesn’t even have any new music out. Hopefully the award goes to summer walker and meg can get a few wins as well. I’m so sick of the same people winning and being nominated every year.
Y’all act like Bey didn’t release an entire Netflix special and soundtrack last year.
They be straight playing fantasia
Her album flopped, but she would be a better nominee than one in particular
I would take 1 People’s Choice Award over 20 EBT Awards… this is the worst
