BET has revealed its nominees for the 25th annual BET Awards, and competition is stiff among rappers. Kendrick Lamar sits in the lead with 10 nominations, though close behind are fellow hip-hop artists Doechii, Future, GloRilla and Lamar’s lyrical nemesis Drake, with six nominations each.

The nominees for the 2025 BET Awards were announced Thursday. Lamar led with ten nods, including album of the year for “GNX“ and video of the year for his viral hit, “Not Like Us.” Lamar was followed by the man he engaged in an epic hip-hop beef with, Drake, as well as fellow rappers Doechii, Future and GloRilla, who had six nominations each.

Beyoncé has received a nomination for album of the year and the BETHer Award for her "Cowboy Carter" album at the 2025 BET Awards.
