Drake, Megan Thee Stallion & Roddy Ricch Lead 2020 BET Awards Nominations

Drake has secured the most nominations for the 2020 BET Awards, which will be hosted by Insecure star Amanda Seales.

The OVO Sound boss leads the way with six nods, including Best Male Hip Hop Artist and Video of the Year. Drizzy’s guest appearances on Chris Brown’s “No Guidance” and Future’s “Life Is Good” also put him in contention for the Best Collaboration and Viewer’s Choice categories.

Megan Thee Stallion and Roddy Ricch were close behind Drake, each earning five nominations. Megan is vying for Album of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Female Hip Hop Artist, Video of the Year and Viewer’s Choice Award. Roddy is up for Album of the Year, Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Best New Artist, Video of the Year and Viewer’s Choice Award.

Beyoncé, Chris Brown, DaBaby, Lizzo and Nicki Minaj are tied for the third-most nominations with four a piece. Other notable nominees include Travis Scott, Cardi B, Griselda, Migos, Rapsody and the late Pop Smoke.

The 2020 BET Awards are scheduled to simulcast across multiple ViacomCBS networks on Sunday, June 28 at 8 p.m. Eastern/Pacific. For the first time in the event’s history, the ceremony will air on CBS.
