BET 2019: Cardi B Tops With 7 Nominations, No Ghanaian In Best International Act

Black Entertainment Television has released the list of nominations for this year’s awards with Female Hip Hop diva, Cardi B topping with 7 nominations followed by Drake who had 5.

Cardi B, who has been racking up awards all year long, leads the pack with seven nominations, including  ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Best Female Hip Hop Artist’ alongside two separate nods in both the ‘Best Collaboration’ and ‘Video of the Year’ categories. But, the Bronx native got some competition for ‘Album of the Year’ category from hardhitters like Travis Scott’s Astroworld and The Carter’s Everything Is Love up for nominations as well.

Fresh off of nabbing his fourth Grammy and 12 awards at the 2019 BBMAs, Drake follows with five nods, including ‘Best Male Hip Hop Artist,’ ‘Video of the Year,’ ‘Best Collaboration.’

Beyonce, Travis Scott and J. Cole round off the rest of the of the top picks with four nominations each, while Bruno Mars, 21 Savage, Childish Gambino, H.E.R.and Ella Mai each received three nominations.

However, in the best international act, Nigerians Mr. Eazi and Burna Boy and South Africa’s AKA will be hoping to bring the trophy to Africa as they compete against the likes of Giggs from UK, Dosseh (FRANCE), Aya Nakamura (FRANCE) and Dave from UK.
