she got one for best new artist 

[slw84]

Surprised Latto wasn't nominated in r&b/pop female 

 

Bruno and dem are cleaning up and likely performing.

[Power love]

Doja i love her but her music is not R&B.

 

Also did they pay Normani dust

[Flare]

The Pop and R&B should be separate categories. There’s enough Pop female and male artists to branch off.

 

For the men

 

POP: Bruno/Anderson (Silk Sonic), Justin Bieber, Weeknd, WizKid, Davido

R&B: Giveon, Lucky Daye, Yung Bleu, Blxst, Chris Brown, 6lack, Daniel Cesar 

 

For the women

POP: Chloe, Doja, Normani, Lizzo, Bree Runway, Tinashe 

R&B: Jasmine Sullivan, HER, Kehlani, Summer Walker, Mary J Blige, SZA 

 

There’s no reason BET can’t recognize everyone now. There’s so many artists doing their thing and charting.

[Not Like The Movies]

they did lil nas x dirty and they also snubbed wild side. 

[Rev8]

OOop, Rnb-Pop-Rap icon Doja Cat

I missed it, I was expecting a best female nom or for Hrs and Hrs to get something 

 

She actually has a decent chance, but I expect Baby Keem to win that one

Silk Sonic is R&B, Lil Nas X could be in the Pop male category

[4Real]

Them nominating Jack Harlow for male hip hop artist but not Lil Nas X?

 

Yass Ludmillaaaa

[Theshigo Washidu]

If there's one thing BET will do is nominate the same artists over and over. 

 

Lil Nas not being nominated despite that he had a big year is homophobic tbh, but I'm not surprised.

[Katamari]

the lil nas snub

ari sweeping hopefully  

[Arcadius]

Lil Nas was arguably of the most successful black artists last year and they completely shut him out. BET continues to be homophobic/transphobic.
