The BET Awards air live from the Microsoft Theater on June 27 on BET at 8pm ET/PT.
Chris will probably win R&B and Cardi I’m sure will win viewers choice for WAP. Will be fun to see meagan and cardi clash for best hiphop. Funny the “RAP QUEEN” wasn’t nominated at all to save face…
That’s like Bey not being nominated for:
BEST FEMALE R&B / POP ARTIST
BEYONCÉ
H.E.R.
JAZMINE SULLIVAN
JHENÉ AIKO
SUMMER WALKER
SZA
And UNGODLY HOUR sealed it’s own fate with TERRIBLE MARKETTING it deserved to Flop. Satanic Title & Cover and Ungodly hour is by far the worse song on the entire project.
B**** your hating ass love to bring Nicki up get a f****** life you on here everyday popping s*** about every artist you have no life get off your ass and get a big you so miserable.
MTS don’t need to win for best anything but ass shaking
Racist award show.
You mad the saltines aren’t apart of it? 🤣🤣🤣
I see the self proclaimed Queen of rap, asian walrus Nickel Minaj isn’t nom’ed for anything BWAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 Funny bcuz in the beginning of her career her fans bragged about her collecting these every year being the only female rapper out 😂😂😂😂
But the barbs will blame it on the “hiatus” but still will claim those 2 #1 Coat Tailed 2020 hits.
Yassssss!! Their fav is so pathetic and delusional, she hops on the hottest artist song when it’s convenient for her. She can never get a hit on her own and her songs flop off the charts after 2-3weeks 😂
Imagine being not nominated yet on the minds of sick fa88s on a blog all day.
Beam me up Scotty #2 off an unmastered 12 year old previous release
Which h03 u Stan can write 12 years of songs? Cataract short circuited in 3 years still no follow up. Just ghostwritten payola jingles
She had seven of them b****** only female artist that won seven years straight. The BET Awards is beneath her .
That’s because no other record label would sign a female rapper to compete with her until they saw Cardi had potential
LMAO now all of a sudden the BET awards are beneath her. I tell you you Garbz are so delusional. You act like she’s out here winning Emmys and Grammys. The BET Awards was he only award show showing her love at one point!!! Have some respect.
So when Nicki is nominated all of a sudden the show is EBT but when she is not it’s the best award show on earth. man the hate some of you have for this woman is getting yall doing some crazy stuff.
Wow loved Ariana and The Weeknd’s performance at the I Heart Radio Music Awards. Hmm Meg just won again.
Lol that was random but yeah Ariana looked amazing !! Lil Nas X outfit is scaring me lmao!!
🥱
Whack doja shoulda got more nominations. All a sudden on b.e.t she rap . Hope she don’t show up. Got to the awards the whole world watch. She will shine in the popular music like she won lastnight.they will invite her cause every award show does because she killed it. Hope she sit this one out Cause they don’t appreciate talent. But celebrate h** rappers. Smh
I think Megan Thee Stallion Sherwin Cardi B Beyoncé DaBaby
