Lil Uzi Vert is feeling some type of way about this year’s BET Awards nominations.
On Monday (June 15), BET announced the nominees for the 2020 awards show ahead of its June 28 premiere. Despite finally releasing his highly-anticipated No. 1 album Eternal Atake this year as well as a deluxe edition, Uzi’s name wasn’t on the list. In a series of tweets, the Philly native chocked it up to being different than his rap peers.
“Y’all see how they do ya boy,” he tweeted. “Its because I don’t follow the Rules of HipHop. Its boring.”
Upon Eternal Atake‘s release in March, the album held the No. 1 spot two weeks in a row, while every song debuted on the Billboard 200.
Nominees for the Best Male Hip Hop Artist category this year include DaBaby, Drake, Future, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch and Travis Scott. As for the Album of the Year, it’s between Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You, Megan Thee Stallion’s Fever, Beyoncé’s Homecoming: The Live Album, H.E.R.’s I Used To Know Her, DaBaby’s Kirk and Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial.

Did he get his little feelings hurt ? Let me guess he came from a single parent family.
Number one in sales don’t mean it was a good album
It was damn sure better than Kirk.
Sorry, bruh, it’s not about any “rules”…you just SUCK AS A WRITER. Get a decent ghostwriter and you might get a nod.
lmao ur a retard his music better than the shit u listen to
Don’t 4get he said he wasn’t a rapper a few years back. He calls himself a RockStar and now he complaining. This dude is beyond retarded.
Lol Uzi vert is the best rapper alive after Young Thug and Kodak Black
He was robbed though for real. Roddy and DaBaby had good years, and are talented, but to put those two in the same class as Uzi is a travesty for AOY. And then the albums of the year are silly choices other than H.E.R.
C’mon BET.
