Drake may be losing his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar, but he is leading the field at the 2024 BET Awards with seven nominations.

The rapper is up for Album of the Year for For All the Dogs (Scary Hours Edition), as well as nods for Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, the Viewers Choice Award, and the Video of the Year for his “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole.

Drake and Lamar will face off in two categories: Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, as well as Best Collaboration, as Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” featuring Sexyy Red and SZA is up against Beyoncé and Lamar’s “America Has a Problem (Remix).”

Nicki Minaj secured six nominations at the 2024 BET Awards — including Album of the Year for Pink Friday 2 — while J. Cole, Sexyy Red, SZA, and Victoria Monét each landed five. Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Usher, and Tyla each landed four nods at the award show.
