It's difficult to tell in advance who will be the 2013 BET Awards winners. Drake led in nominations, earning a whopping 12 nods (despite not making an appearance since Chris Brown will be there), followed by Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz.
The 2013 BET Award nominations were announced today (May 14), and Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar garnered the most nods. However, the rest of the honorees are a stellar and diverse bunch, with nominations going to A$AP Rocky, Beyonce, Rihanna and more.
The 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards were tapped on Sept. 29, but the show debuted tonight (Oct. 9), and with a bang! Wiz Khalifa hit the stage performing his summer anthem 'Work Hard Play Hard' before a slew of winners were announced.
