It’s that time of year!

A dumb h o e
Wow, Khalid nominated like 8 times? Good for him! Fellow Aquarius
You dumb fool
Fück you Flopyonce and fück the BBMAS!
The audacity of just nomination Beyoncé twice and under R&B categories?
She’s not an R&B singer you dumb racists, you just put her in this categories ‘cause she’s black, if she was a white singer doing the same kind of music she be nominated under pop!
She is a POP STAR, one of the main KWEENS OF POP! STOP BEING RACIST!
Hope she throw the awards back at you if she win!
Beyoncé is a washed up FLOP who could only sell 6k. Even Flopnashe sold more lololololol
@Flopyonce finally you speak sense 🤣
It’s solo good to drag the shîthive and their flopping fave after all those years that they have been dragging others for being a flop. They just get a taste of their own medicine.
#6K #LegendsDontSell6K
*sooooo
2 nominations for Camila cabello
Best collaboration
Top 100 song
We love to see it
And normani? A flop.
Another award show Camila is nominated while normani is paid dust.
Lil Nas X is about to snatch lol 💯 Congrats to Shawn on his song tho lmao 👀
But where is normani, this was the question that was asked
Show me normani on the list, I’m waiting…
There’s a great reason why I didn’t mention Normani or ya girl lol 👀 But congrats to ya girl, especially for her Hot 100 nomination ✅ 💯
U didnt mention Camila, but ur under a comment congratulations Camila, CRYING as usual. 😂
Hold the L
I still didn’t say her name 😂 But you said Normani’s tho, even tho the good sis isn’t even nominated 🤳🏽
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQgd6MccwZc
Wow Janet’s still getting nominations (and she’ll win) 35+ years into her career. Absolutely LOVE to see this legend slaying.
Yes, Janet! ❤️
If Janet wins , it’s a popularity thing, Janet haven’t been popular in years, u see she couldn’t snag best pop tour
She’s a legend b****
“It’s a popularity thing. But she hasn’t been popular”
U sound bout as dumb
YU DAMN DUMB FREAK!! IF SHE IS NOT POPULAR WHY DID PPL BOOK TICKETS 2C DA TOUR????????? WHY IS CAMILLA NOT ON TJIS LIST???? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE FROM DAT PAY-PER-MIN INTERNET CAFE BEFORE DEY HAVE ANUTHA POWER CUT FROM NOT PAYIN DA BILLLLS 🖕🏾
Where’s Camila Cabello? 😂 I thought her album was “soooo successful”? She should’ve swept these nominations right? 😭😂🤣
Romance is a good album. I don’t understand why everyone wants to hate it so bad. Give it a try! This Love is my favorite from the album.
Somebody forgot to take their schizophrenia medication today
😂😂
Camila Cabello received 2 nominations at this year’s billboard music awards
• Top Hot 100 Song (Señorita)
• Top Collaboration (Señorita)
💅💅
The question on everyone’s lips is, where is f*******?
😭😂 Where are those other 5 singles from the romance album chiiiile? You brag about how successful that album and that girl are, but why are her only nominations for the song she’s feautures is on from Shawn Mendes’ album? Which was then added to her album last minute? 🤣 Why didn’t my oh my, liar, shameless, living proof get nominations? Why wasn’t she nominated for best female if she’s such a main pop girl of the moment? Why wasn’t her album nominated for album of the year if it was so successful? You act like she’s so successful but she’s NOT

Congrats to all the nominees 💯
“Check the spots that we got on Billboard“ -Mia X 😂
Janet has been using her sheer talent and work ethic to get back out there. She was about to slay 2020 even more. Sucks to see Kanye clouding out all the gospel categories. It’s not a true reflection of who should be nominated and worked so hard
For someone who was huge, and debuted in 2019 Billie Eilish is very forgettable. Phew, c***** didn’t sweep up nominations? I guess the awards shows stopped trying to pretend she was some huge pop girl and are paying her dust. I thought Da baby would be a fad but releasing that album so quickly worked out in his favour after all.
100% facts
Billie Eilish got too far up her own ass and her music suffered because of it and now she is as boring and dry as a mould covered dishcloth.
YEA CUMMILLAS REDUCTIVE EFFORTS WERE PAID DUUUUUUUUUUUUST BY BILLBOARD!!!!! HER PR MACHINE WAS MAKIN HER OUT TO MADONNA CROSSED WITH THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST!!! 😂😂😂😂 BUT BILLBOARD SAID NO ‘MAM TO HER 17,0000 PROMO VIDEOS AND LEAD LEAD OF LEAD SOPHOMORE ALBUM SINGLES!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Camicky Cabelly still hanging on to Shawn for dear life
Where are her noms for her album and solo flops?
She’s done. Canceled Tour. Flop Singles.
She entered the music with a solo flop “Crying” and she’s exiting as a flop
But why do you care? That’s what I can’t work out. Ok, she flopped. And? 😂
Girl it’s almost 2021. Why am i seeing Lizzo, Billie Eilish, and Lil Nas X nominated for best new artist?
Bye billboard!
Chile 😂
Wow they really cancelling Nicki
The Weeknd – Blinding Lights and Dua Lipa’s Don’t Start Now and Future Nostalgia will be eligible next year along with Taylor’s Folklore. Also Lady Gaga – Chromatica. Most of these are old. The awards had to be delayed because of the pandemic, which is why most of these nominations are old look at the Best New Artist category that should explain why lol!!
They want janet there cause Khalid and b2k ain’t it and if they all show up together what will happen to lol fizz
Janet has won more billboard awards then any one else so I think she’s good and that’s male or female but I still want her to win
No Nicky
No Marshal
Thse awrds are just not for me this time around
