You
can
bet
the
BET
Awards
have
kicked
off
with
a
bang.
This
year’s
show,
hosted
by
Kevin
Hart
June
9,
at
the
Peacock
Theater
in
Los
Angeles
features
some
of
the
biggest
names
across
music,
film
and
sports—and,
as
always,
it’s
some
stiff
competition.
For
one,
Kendrick
Lamar
scored
11
nominations
across
six
categories,
naturally
earning
nods
for
Album
of
the
Year
for
GNX,
as
well
as
Video
of
the
Year
for
his
impressive
“Not
Like
Us.”
Meanwhile,
Drake
also
managed
five
nods
of
his
own,
including
for
Video
of
the
Year
for
“Family
Matters,”
one
of
his
own
diss
tracks
toward
Kendrick.
And
while
the
rappers’
beef
certainly
contributed
to
Kendrick’s
whirlwind
year,
he
is
also
up
alongside
SZA
for
their
“30
for
30”
and
“Luther”
collaborations.
In
addition
to
the
“Kill
Bill”
singer’s
nominations
with
Kendrick,
she—along
with
Ari
Lennox,
Arya
Starr,
Coco
Jones,
Kehlani,
Muni
Long,
Summer
Walker
and
Victoria
Monet—is
also
up
for
one
of
her
own
in
the
Best
Female
Pop/R&B
Artist
category.
