The 2017 BET Award nominations dropped Monday (May 15) and despite Chicago rap star Dreezy’s solid showing with her debut album No Hard Feelings and the Platinum-selling “Body” featuring Jeremih, she wasn’t nominated for a single award.
When fans tweeted their surprise that the “We Gon Ride” artist wasn’t nominated, Dreezy said she wasn’t shocked, and explained that the awards aren’t about the music anymore.
In 2014, Dreezy was featured in the BET Hip Hop Award cypher alongside Retro Jace and Andy Mineo, among others. Maybe this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards will have something shiny reserved for the hard-working rap star.
She recently shared her excitement about being part of Issa Rae’s Insecure in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX after her Rolling Loud set. She also talked about being part of Gucci Mane’s Trap God Tour.
The BET Awards’ Best Female Hip Hop Artist category has long been dominated by Nicki Minaj, who has won for the past seven years. This year, Cardi B, Young M.A, Missy Elliot and Remy Ma are all attempting to break the “No Frauds” rapper’s streak. Best New Artist nominations include Cardi B, Young M.A, Khalid, Chance The Rapper and 21 Savage, who featured Dreezy on his Slaughter King cut “Motorcycle” in 2016.
The 2017 BET Awards air June 25 from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Check out the award nominations here.
Who dis?

Never heard of this person before. I’ll slapbox the dicc off this fool. Knowwhati’msayin’?

Jesus you had a stroke or what?
Her album is dope. She didn’t get any promotion. Next her problem is that she didn’t get plastic surgery. Nobody was fucking with Nicki until she got her asz and tits done. To be a female rapper you have to be a half dressed and always talk about sex.
Keep up the good work shorty. The album is dope. They nominated Missy over you ? Crazy. Missy ain’t do shyt in ten years.
Heard the album on Tidal. It’s good , nice bars good songs and she talking about more than just her asz and pussy. Maybe that’s the problem. She’s to real for the basic “look at my booty” female rap fans
Dreezy is low key slept on. She has a couple of tracks I like.
Missy got a nomination? Why not nominate Foxy Brown and Lil Kim since we going back in time.
Because Missy actually has new songs out, including “I’m Better” which charted this year
Anybody concerned with a BET award is better off quitting music altogether. Lmfao! A BET award is the equivalent of participation trophy from the Special Olympics.
“Dont take my passion 4 this as discredit to other females. Salute to all the dope ladies.” So if they all are “Dope Ladies” and deserve to be nominated, where is your problem girl?? They cant nominate every single female Artist on the Planet.
Her album was 101 on the Billboard 200 which is considered wood!
Out of 5 Singles only 1 went platinum which is considered a one hot wonder.
Talk that talk when you can back it up. If not, then B*** be HUMBLE!
One Hit*
Yeah, but Cardi B had so much more commercial success, huh?
Honestly I feel like Dreezy is the best female MC in the game right now. She has flow, wit, style, and can make great songs. I think the only problem is her name. It’s too close to Drizzy.
Young MA is the top female MC
Your musics just manufactured garbage anyways girl. No artistic integrity whatsoever. So how can you sit there and say it’s not about the music anymore when you’re not even about the music
I don’t think the BET Awards Noms should make you think “it’s not about the Music anymore”! You being one of the top females in the game is showing that it’s not about the music no more. I mean honestly, she couldn’t hang in the Kim/Foxy Era, Lyte/Latifah Era, or especially the Digga/Rage era. So Dreezy is whining about being a tall midget in a room full of midgets!
Why the hell you pick the same name as drake so now they gonna confuse you wit DRIZZY you dumbass
