Nominees for the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards have been announced with a host of start-studded hip-hop musicians making the list.
The Awards night will air on October 15 in Las Vegas to celebrate the best artistes in hip-hop for the year under review.
Leading the nominations is Megan Thee Stallion with 12 nods, followed closely by Kendrick Lamar with 11 and Drake with 8. Other top contenders include Cardi B, GloRilla, Metro Boomin, and Nicki Minaj, all securing multiple nominations.
This year’s show will be hosted by Fat Joe, who returns as both host and co-executive producer, promising an exciting night in Las Vegas.
However, no Ghanaian artiste managed to etch a nomination for this year as has happened in the past years. Black Sherif won his first-ever BET “Best International Flow” award in 2023 after missing out on the category award in 2022. Sarkodie and Stonebwoy have also won a BET Hip-Hop award.
