It's almost time to come together and watch as a family. Stars in music, movies, and sports will show up and show out in Los Angeles on June 25 for "culture's biggest night." On Thursday, BET announced the nominees for the 2023 BET Awards.

Booked and busy Drizzy came in the lead with nominations for Best Male Hip Hop Artist and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist. Drake is a force on his own, but it's his collaborations that put him over the top. Linking with 21 Savage secured nominations for Best Group, Album of the Year for Her Loss, and Viewer's Choice Award for "Jimmy Crook."

Last year, GloRilla earned the title of a BET Amplified artist. She won Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist of the Year after making her performance debut at the 2022 BET Awards. This year, she's right behind Drake with six nominations.
