The 2013 BET Award nominations were announced moments ago following a press conference which Chris Brown, Chris Tucker, Tamar Braxton, Kendrick Lamar and Charlie Wilson attended!
Dubbed the “BET Experience,” the three day extravaganza begins June 28 with performances by Miguel, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, J.Cole, New Edition, The Jacksons and Beyonce!
Drake leads the way with a total of 10 nominations–most carried by his features this year, including his verse on “Problems” and “Pop That.” A pregnant Tamar Braxton wil battle it out against Rihanna, Beyonce and Alicia Keys for the title of “Best Female artist.” We have an overwhelming feeling Rihanna will walk away with the win!
