Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled And Cardi B Top Nominees For 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards (FULL LIST)

Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, and DJ Khaled each earned nine nominations for the upcoming BET Hip Hop Awards, leading all nominees while Jay-Z and Chance the Rapper each scored five nods for the event, which is set to take place on October 10 in Miami.

Lamar and Khaled are both nominated for single of the year, album of the year, best hip hop video, hustler of the year, and MVP of the year.

Cardi is also nominated for single of the year, best hip hop video, MVP of the year, and hustler of the year, as well as best new hip hop artist.

In addition, the awards ceremony moves from Atlanta to Miami this year: taping on October 6 at The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater and premiering on October 10.

This is due to the destruction caused to south Florida by Hurricane Irma, BET interim head of programming Connie Orlando said in a statement.

“While BET is extremely excited to bring the BET Hip Hop Awards to Miami, we remain sensitive to the millions of victims affected by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey.”
“Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with those who are facing the impact of this catastrophic storm. As a network, we are committed to offering our full support during this most devastating time. Through Hip Hop Awards 2017, our ‘Hip Hop for Hurricane Relief’ will bring together some of the biggest names in hip hop to acknowledge those in need as the country begins the difficult process of rebuilding,” Orlando said.
