Nigerian artists Burna Boy, Tems, Asake, and Seyi Vibez have been nominated for the 2024 BET Awards.

The awards, known as Culture’s Biggest Night, will be held in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 30. This year’s theme is “Standing on Culture.”

Ayra Starr received three nominations, while Burna Boy and Tems each received two each.

Burna Boy and Drake are in the same category for Best Male R&B/Pop Artiste. Seyi Vibez bagged his first-ever BET nomination for the Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act, and Asake was nominated for Best International Act alongside Tyla and Ayra Starr.

Tyla joins international acts 21 Savage, Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, and Usher, each of whom has four nominations for this year’s award show.

After a controversial beef with Kendrick Lamar, Drake leads this year’s award show with seven nominations, closely followed by Nicki Minaj.
