Another awards show, another slew of nominations for Cardi B. The “Press” rapper leads the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards ceremony with a whopping 10 nominations, followed by DJ Khaled, Travis Scott and J. Cole who land at 8. Drake follows shortly behind at 7.
The Awards show will return to Atlanta taking over the Cobb Energy Center and will be broadcast to fans on Tuesday, October 8 after an October 5 filming.
Cardi is nominated for MVP of the Year, hot ticket performer, hustler of the year, best collab, a single of the year, made-you-look award, and two nods for the best hip-hop video, & sweet 16 categories, which seemingly seems like all of them.
