Drake’s unstoppable run in music is continuing at the 2023 BET Awards: He’s the top contender with seven nominations.

Drake shares three nominations with 21 Savage: album of the year for their collaborative release Her Loss, best group and viewer’s choice for the No. 1 hit “Jimmy Cooks.”

The BET Awards will air live from Los Angeles on June 25. 

Breakthrough rapper GloRilla — who scored her first Grammy nomination this year — is behind Drake with six nominations. She will compete for best female hip-hop artist, best new artist, album of the year with her EP Anyways, Life’s Great and video of the year for “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B. She’s a double nominee for best collaboration with “Tomorrow 2” and “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” with Hitkidd.

21 Savage and Lizzo earned five nominations each, while Beyoncé, SZA, Ice Spice, Chris Brown and Burna Boy each scored four nods.

Albums battling Drake, 21 Savage and GloRilla for album of the year include Beyoncé’s Renaissance, SZA’s SOS, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Brown’s Breezy and DJ Khaled’s God Did.

Performers will be announced at a later date, but the show plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop during the telecast.
