Drake, Ye, & Kendrick Lamar Are Highest Nominated Artists At The 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards

Following behind the Canadian rap star is Kanye West, who earned 10 nominations of his own, including one for Hip Hop Artist of the Year. Rounding out the top three is Kendrick Lamar, who was recognized nine times thanks to his work on Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
