“People made fun of me when I said I will one day make it to BET. They were laughing at me but even getting a nomination is phenomenal.”
“To all my fans, I love them. BET is not about voting, they had to check a lot of things before they shortlist you.”
This is the 15th Annual BET Hip Hop Awards, honoring the past year in hip hop music across 17 categories.
Rising superstar and winner of the 2019 Hip Hop Awards “Best New Hip Hop Artist” DaBaby leads this year’s nominations with an impressive 12 nods. He is followed closely by Roddy Ricch, who has 11 nominations.
Drake tied for third-most at eight nods apiece with Megan Thee Stallion, whose “Savage” remix with Beyoncé scored Queen Bey three nominations of her own.
Khaligraph – real name Brian Ouko Omollo – and South Africa’s Nasty C, who are the only African acts in the Best International Flow category, will battle it out with Stormzy from the UK, Meryl from France, and Djonga from Brazil.
The annual Hip Hop Awards honor the best artists of the genre in the past year across 17 categories.
