BET Awards 2022 Nominations: See the Complete List

After the nominees were announced, online critics complained that Lil Nas X was not nominated. The artist himself wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “not even that, doesn’t even have to be me nominated. i just feel like black gay ppl have to fight to be seen in this world and even when we make it to the top ifs try to pretend we are invisible”

In another since-deleted Tweet on June 1, Lil Nas X wrote, “thank you bet awards. an outstanding zero nominations again. black excellence!” 

For those artists nominated and their fans, the upcoming show promises some monumental moments.
