Kendrick Lamar Dominates 2025 BET Awards Nominations
The nominations for the 2025 BET Awards are out, and Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with a staggering 10 nominations. The acclaimed rapper is recognized for his album *GNX*, his Drake diss track "Not Like Us" (which earned him multiple nods, including Video of the Year), and several Viewer's Choice nominations.
Hot on Lamar's heels are Doechii, Drake, Future, and GloRilla, each securing multiple nominations. Doechii is recognized for her album *Alligator Bites Never Heal* and her song "Denial Is a River," while Drake's nominations include *Some $exy $ongs 4 U* and "Family Matters." Future and GloRilla also have strong showings, with Future's collaboration with Metro Boomin and GloRilla's album *Glorious* both earning recognition.
The awards, hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, will air live on BET from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on June 9th at 8 p.m. ET. Fans can look forward to voting for the Viewer's Choice award soon. The nominations span a wide range of categories, including Best Female and Male R&B/Pop Artist, Best Group, Best Collaboration, and Best New Artist, promising an exciting night of music and celebration.
BNN's Perspective: The BET Awards are always a highlight, and this year's nominations reflect the diverse and dynamic landscape of Black music. While Kendrick Lamar's dominance is impressive, it's great to see recognition for artists like Doechii and GloRilla, who are making waves in the industry. The Viewer's Choice category is always a fun one, and it'll be interesting to see who the fans rally behind.
