Rappers Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj are the most nominated performers for the 2015 BET Awards next month in Los Angeles. The nominations were announced Monday and both Brown and Minaj received six nods apiece. Coming close behind are Beyonce and Lil Wayne who each have four nominations.
The BET Awards, which air on the BET network on June 28, celebrate the achievements of African Americans and other minorities in music and entertainment as well as sports. The nominations come one day after both Brown and Minaj made headlines at the Billboard music Awards in Las Vegas - but for different reasons.
The 26-year-old R&B artist created a buzz when he showed up on the red carpet with his 11-month-old daughter Royalty as his date. While Minaj, 32, raised eyebrows and got a standing ovation from the crowd for her very sexy performance on stage of Hey Mama.
