    This is a joke.. I get why my girl Bey is nominated for many of them Categories but at this point they reaching, nominating Isley Brothers ft Bey and Grace, and Church Girl.. like what kind of impact those two songs had.. They alway try to squeeze her in ever category they can.. I gotta say good team though. I love it

    • Dav October 20, 2022

      Just for her to not show up. 🤣

    • Qloco713 October 20, 2022

      Make Me say it again is hot on the r&b charts

  2. t October 20, 2022

    Burna Boy RNB ….? Ok since when i cant take this shows serious anymore

  3. Clarks0o00ñ October 20, 2022

    Chloe getting nominated.
    Not 1 nomination for that ugly slàvè chìmp called normani. Hope her mama dìè of càncèr next year.
    We love to see it
    😂

    • Tito October 20, 2022

      She had a soul train award already though 🤷🏾‍♂️

      • Clarks0o00ñ October 21, 2022

        Best dance performance . Lol
        It wasnt solo
        It wasnt for singing
        😂

    • Arimani Venti October 21, 2022

      Normani got nominated and WON last year. At least Normani wins her nominations unlike Chloe. Chloe won’t win in any of the catergories shes in and you will have to deal with the fact that you cannot compete where you dont compare. Your racist self has to come up with the most racist things about Normani but the insults are lame and tired. I think an intervention is needed to get you the mental attention you desperately need

      • Clarks0o00ñ October 21, 2022

        She won for dancing and it was thanks to cardi

        Normani is an ugly cheap silver back gor1llà
        Now what?

        Her 12 stand from Twitter always patrolling everywhere instead of them to go stream her 10 minutes discography.
        U literally stands a talentless rat with a 10 minute discography, isnt that mental illness?

        Good luck on that annual single in 2023

        And chloe is Grammy nominated and she will always eat normani the ugly gorìllà up. What are u gonna do about it? Cry? Complain? Write think pieces on Twitter? Blame Camila and beyonce for sabotage? Blame rca records?
        😂

    I really dont get these awards tbh. No shade but putting africans with beyonce and chris brown in the same category is BS. Not degrading africans but their music (rnb/soul) is quite different

    • RikKaH Queen October 20, 2022

      African music is just hitting a drum with human or animal bones.

      • Khalid October 21, 2022

        Ur fada,

  5. Ms. Ling Ling October 20, 2022

    Mary j can’t sit beside Beyoncé! Somebody should’ve put her at the doggy back seat

  6. Musiqlovah October 20, 2022

    Happy to see Doechii in the noms. I hope she performs. I feel she most deservant of BNA, however, i think it will go to Tems.

  7. RikKaH Queen October 20, 2022

    Ghetto trash.

    • KeyLoLo October 20, 2022

      It really is though

  8. Slim October 25, 2022

    Mary j got way more hits than Beyoncé . Since 1992 and remixes to kill Beyoncé. Beyoncé just got the crazy fanbase.Mary just need a mic on stage solo .Beyoncé need 100 people on stage with her . Mary got classic albums and hits .Beyoncé just got her name Beyoncé that make people go crazy. Mary music anyday. These nominations are a joke all together. Remember when we looked forward to the soulful train awards. Now it’s a joke don’t know most of the artist . Competition had you on the edge of your seats and performances had you hype. Now boring, smoke, fire, p*** dancers just whack.Tisha and Tichina made it good again
