THE 2018 BET AWARDS NOMINEES

The “BET Awards ” 2018 will be taking place at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday, June 24 and BET Networks, a unit of Viacom Inc. officially announced the nominees we’ve all been waiting for.

And to some it is no surprise to learn that one of the hardest working DJs in the country, DJ Khaled, received the most nominations for a total of six overall. The 2018 Pulitzer Prize winning artist, Kendrick Lamar, is the dominating runner up with a total of five nominations. The triple hip-hop force of Migos and sizzling Sza each have four nominations alone.

Of course Cardi B. is making her presence known in a four categories below however, I’m sure she will blossom into a nomination superstar next year.
