The time has finally arrived, and the award ceremony is currently underway on the BET Network. Megan Thee Stallion leads the nominations with nine in categories such as Hip Hop Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Hip Hop Artist of the Year, while Tyler, The Creator is up for four. He’s also the recipient of the Rock the Bells Cultural Influence Award presented by Rock The Bells founder LL COOL J. Tyler, The Creator, who’s described as an “award-winning artist, producer, director, fashion designer, filmmaker and entrepreneur who co-founded the Hip Hop group and record label Odd Future in 2007,” is nominated in the Hip Hop Album of the Year, Hip Hop Artist of the Year, Produce of the Year and Best Live Performer categories, as well. Meanwhile, The I Am Hip Hop Award will go to Nelly, “a diamond-selling, multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning rap superstar, entrepreneur, philanthropist and actor.” Performers include Baby Keem, Bia, Gunna, Isaiah Rashad, Lil Jon, Tobe Nwigwe and Young Thug. The event will also feature a special tribute to Biz Markie with none other than fellow Juice Crew member Big Daddy Kane. HipHopDX — which is up for an award in the Best Hip Hop Platform category — will be updating the winners in real time. Check out the nominees and winners below.
