Megan Thee Stallion attends the 2019 BET Awards on June 23, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. DaBaby attends the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center on January 26, 2020 in Los Angeles, California.

BET has announced the official nominations for their 2021 Awards show, airing live Sunday, June 27 at 8 pm ET/PT, and Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby are leading with seven respective nominations.

Cardi B and Drake follow closely behind, tied with five nominations each. Anderson .Paak, Bruno Mars, Chloe X Halle, and Chris Brown are all tied with four nominations.

BET said in a press release, “We are back and excited to bring culture’s biggest night, the 2021 BET Awards, safely back to Los Angeles to celebrate this year’s incredible roster of nominees. We broke ground as one of the first official award shows to move forward during the global pandemic and we are ready to take our pioneer status to the next level with the return of an audience to celebrate the best and brightest creative minds in the entertainment industry.”

Megan Thee Stallion left her mark in last year’s telecast with her Mad Max-inspired performance for “Girls in The Hood” and “Savage.” Megan claims one of the top spots securing seven nominations for Best Female Hip Hop Artist, Video of the Year for “WAP,” Album of the Year for Good News, two Viewer’s Choice Award nominations, and Best Collaboration for her features with DaBaby (“Cry Baby”) and Cardi B (“WAP”).

DaBaby’s performance at last year’s BET Awards left a mark of his own in another way. He performed “ROCKSTAR” featuring Roddy Rich in a powerful video depicting police brutality in the height of the Black Lives Matter movement after George Floyd's death. DaBaby’s seven nods including Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Album of the Year for Blame it on Baby, Viewer’s Choice Award, and four Best Collaboration nominations for his features alongside Roddy Ricch (“ROCKSTAR”), Megan Thee Stallion (“Cry Baby”), Pop Smoke & Lil Baby (“For The Night”), and Jack Harlow, Tory Lanez and Lil Wayne (“What’s Poppin- Remix”).
