For hip-hop fans, the BET Hip-Hop Awards hold a special place in our hearts. The performances are always on point and the awards celebrate all of the artists we've fallen in love with over the last year. Artists that normally wouldn't get too much exposure at the GRAMMYs or other music awards shows are held in the spotlight, giving fans a special platform to honor them.
This year, the circumstances are different. We're still in the midst of a serious global pandemic. The show must go on though and, while parts of the ceremony will certainly be held virtually, it's still nice to see our favorite stars get crowned.
The nominations have arrived for the upcoming 2020 show, with DaBaby and Roddy Ricch leading the way with 12 and 11 nominations apiece. Right behind them are Drake and Megan Thee Stallion, who both secured 8 nods.
HotNewHipHop also earned a nomination for Best Hip-Hop Platform, running against Complex, The Shade Room, XXL, HipHopDX, The Breakfast Club, and The Joe Budden Podcast.
The BET Hip-Hop Awards will take place on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 at 9 PM ET/PT on BET. Make sure to tune in!
