So, the Billboard Music Awards have ended, and it is now time for another show; the 2015 BET Award nominations are in.
In a tie with Chris Brown for six nominations, Nicki Minaj is the lady leading the pack. Nick makes it in ‘Best Collaboration’ with August Alsina for “No Love” remix, ‘Video of the Year’ for “Anaconda” and of course, Best Female Hip-Hop Artist along with DeJ Loaf, Iggy Azalea, Tink, Trina and Azealia Banks.
Banks is already counting herself out of the game.

“I really hate getting nominated for @bet awards. They’re so bogus,” Banks tweets out. “The female rap award at the bet awards goes to nicki every year … They should just nominate nicki five times with five different wigs on and pick the best picture lol.” LMAO! Can’t say that I would disagree. Nicki has been the most consistent female in the hip-hop game, with no stopping in sight, so sorry girlie.
