WizKid and Tems floated on that shyt before adding that mf, c'mon BET

Like him or hate him, Lil Nas X had a successful past year. He should’ve been given a chance to eat off of a nomination at least.

he only had that 1 song w that curly head cac if I'm not mistaken

He was quiet for a minute

I can see nominating Doja for ratings but I doubt she attends.

I could definitely see Doja pulling up...especially with rumors that her next album bout to be on some real hip hop shyt

Right. And it's about time that BET and other award shows start separating R&B and Pop. To me there's enough Black/Black Adjacent pop artists for them to be in their own category. That's the Dojas, Lil Nas Xs, Lizzo, The Weeknd's, etc.

This is not true. He had 2 #1s last year and and a decent selling album.

i'm surprised they didn't try to include a "best independent youtube/social media content creator" to try to stay relevant to the younger generation

it'll be like Primm, RDCworld..., add some those random reaction videos, ASMR, and fashion/makeup, etc...imagine if all those youtubers plugged the BET awards to go vote for them, the show would actually remain semi-relevant even though they are still out of tune with most of those snubbed nominations

That's not a bad idea. I think award shows in general aren't sweating the younger gen YET because millenials and some of gen X are their main base. Also, they most likely have older folks running it so they're mindset is probably in the mid-to-late 2000s when they didn't have to do much work; BET was the primary source for Black entertainment so every base would tune in for the most part.

Social media, streaming, and YouTube done killed all of that. The declining quality of awards doesn't help either.

Since when are Lil Baby and Durk a group?

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

these aware shows have too many nominees...stick to 4-5 and call it a day, nominating people for attendance at this point

edit: 9 nominees for best actress and MJB being one of them

edit 2: the sympathy nom of saweetie and nicki...let it go, nicki still getting features, but solo? nah, there's a new generation

They not. BET stay nominated ppl who just collab in the same category as actual groups and it's annoying af.
