Doja Cat tops the list of nominees for the 2022 BET Awards, which was unveiled on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old is vying for both Best Female R&B/Pop Artist and Female Hip Hop Artist. Planet Her got a nod for Album of the Year and “Kiss Me More” ft. SZA is in the running for Video of the Year and Best Collaboration.
Doja Cat is also nominated in the BET Her award for “Woman.”
Canada is well represented, though, thanks to Drake, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber and Director X.
Drake has four nods: Album of the Year (Certified Lover Boy), Male Hip Hop Artist and both Video and Collaboration of the Year for “Way 2 Sexy,” ft. Future & Young Thug). In the latter category, Drake’s up against Wizkid’s “Essence,” ft. Justin Bieber & Tems.
The Weeknd is in the running for Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and fellow Toronto native Director X (aka Julien Lutz) is up for Video Director of the Year.
Other nominees in the music categories include Silk Sonic, Ye, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.
Blige is also up for Best Actress for her role on Power Book II: Ghost, competing with the likes of Jennifer Hudson (Respect), Coco Jones (Bel Air) and Queen Latifah (The Equalizer).
The 2022 BET Awards will be handed out June 26 in Los Angeles.
