Drake and Kanye West have each made an indelible mark over the last year with their musical efforts.
Aptly, then, the Hip-Hop titans lead the nominations for the 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
Drizzy leads with a whopping 14 nods, followed by West with 10.
Other notable names in this nominations mix include Kendrick Lamar (9) and Future (8), as well as the trio of Cardi B, J. Cole, and Baby Keem – all of whom landed 6 nominations each.
Hosted by Fat Joe, this year’s installment of the show takes place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, GA and airs on October 4 on BET at 9pm ET/PT.

What do you think of the nominations?
But future is the best rapper alive said GQ Magazine Future has many copycats really he might be the one running the rap game
I Look to You was a flop 💀
Nicki had at least 5 songs this year and not get nominated for non of em .. the shade writes itself 😬😬
Not Saucy Santana getting a nomination. BET aint slick!
Nicki didn’t get s*** her own people don’t f** wit her crazy ass 😂😂😂😂 congrats cardi
Paying for all those noms I see 👀 You don’t get 6 noms for ONE song that flopped…
Cardi B is the most nominated woman at this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards with 6 nominations.
Song of the Year

And still can’t make the Top 10 💀
It’s ok to stan a flop, hunnie. Just look at Monica Stan, he stans a flop every day 💀
Only love can HURT like THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭
There yall go always talking about nicki minaj like damm get off her d*** yall hate to dam much always putting these two women against each other
Nicki Minaj and Lil Nas X don’t F with BET that’s why both have no nominations
Because the awards fake as hell. How H******** have 6 nominations with no album in 4 years, a flop single and a fake category “Hustler of the Year?” All smells fishy to me 🐟
Wow. BET don’t like Nicki no more?
Cardi dropping drawers not hits 👀
Now that’s the TRUE tea! How else she get nominated 6 times for releasing one flop song in the past year? And hustler of the year? Well, for hooking, yup.
Your obsessed faggggy
Facts queen!
