On Oct. 5, the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards will make its triumphant return to Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Center after vacationing in Miami for the last two years. After besting his peers with eight nominations in 2018, this year, Drake slides into third place with seven, allowing Cardi B to lead the pack with double-digit honors.

After notching four wins at last year’s festivities, Cardi looks to clinch more victories this time around with her 10 nominations including MVP of the Year, hot ticket performer, hustler of the year, best collab, single of the year, made-you-look award, and two nods for the best hip-hop video, & sweet 16 categories.

Though Cardi didn’t deliver her sophomore album in 2019, she stayed busy slinging out Hot 100 bangers in “Money,” “Press” and “Please Me.”

There’s a three-way tie for second as DJ Khaled, Travis Scott and J. Cole each nab eight nominations. Despite his passing earlier this year, Nipsey Hussle pulls away with a handful of nods, netting five. As for newcomers, Megan Thee Stallion snags five, while DaBaby closes shop with four.

There will also be a new category this year dubbed best international flow that will highlight artists from different countries such as Nigeria, UK, France, South Africa, Ghana and Canada.

The 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards will air Tuesday (Oct. 8) at 8 pm EST on BET.

[RUDY RAYYY MO]

Bitch ain't Black..goof face hoe

 

[xxironxx]

I aint gave a fuck about an award show probably since the 90s but damn sure wouldn't give a min of my time to a show that this talentless board is leading in nominations. Tells me everything i need to know about this show

 

[playahaitian]

As long as we support these shows and the "stars" actually attend and perform I'm cool.

Hustler of the year either Jay or Cardi

Lizzo should get album of the year

Surprise upset should be ybn cordae for lyricist

 

[playahaitian]

Wtf...

Jay z aint nominated for that whats free verse?

Cole should win for A Lot.

 

[playahaitian]

Tory lanez should get recognized for thise battle verses.

 

[playahaitian]

The fact blueface is even nominated undermines the validity of this entire affair

Dababy or Cordae should win best new artist

 

[Database Error]

Nicki Minaj new hit didn't make the cut?

 

[playahaitian]

Meghan should win something with her fine thick ole azz.

She actually can rap but i feel like we ain't really heard THAT record from her yet.

The hit girl summer build up was disappointing as hell final product

 

[playahaitian]

Nicki Minaj new hit didn't make the cut?

Nicki just been too toxic the last few months

But that megatron record was a big record this summer and should have been recognized

 

[D'Evils]

And I see why Nikki "retired"....

All her shit flopped and she has been replaced by Cardi and now Megan...

 

[jack walsh13]

Guess what the fuck I won't be watching.

 

[billybob2]

you already know who's going to get MVP of the year

 

[peterlongshort]

 

[D'Evils]

Nicki just been too toxic the last few months

But that megatron record was a big record this summer and should have been recognized

She was beefing with BET earlier this year over a Twitter comment and her and Lil Wayne pulled out of the summer show and Main BET Award Show...

And as recently as June...

 

[Leatherf7ce]

That Rapsody album is amazing and ain't nobody repping it correctly. SMH Also cardi b is annoying and call black ppl roaches so fuck that bitch

 

[xxironxx]

The fact blueface is even nominated undermines the validity of this entire affair

Dababy or Cordae should win best new artist

Bruuuh i got up and walked in the house 1 day, outside on the porch kicking it with the homies and this nigga put on some blueface, can't remember the trash ass bar that did it for me but i could feel my brain cells dying listening to that shit

 

[xxironxx]

Lol i just went thru and looked at those categories and the artist and the fact 2 chainz is in the lyricist of the year category is damn near as absurd as Cardi leading nominations

 

[durham]

Shit is ridiculous. Dang shame what happened to BET.

 

[swoop1]

I know somebody mentioned Lizzo. I’m sorry, I just can’t get into it. It sounds like some twisted carnival music. Then she has outfits from left field, that as far as I can tell, don’t relate to the songs. And I think I’ve seen two performances from her now where she breaks out the flute for no reason. And that makes me think of Terry Crews, which makes it worse.

 

[HotNixon36]

congrats to this retarded woman
