BET has announced global industry players who have received nominations for 2022, with Nigeria's Wizkid, Peru hitmaker Fireboy DML and the Essence singer, Tems making it to the list.

Unfortunately, no Ghanaian musician had the opportunity to be part of the most reputed music awards event this year.

According to the full list released by the organisers, Tems was nominated in three categories: the ‘Best New Artist,’ ‘Best International Act,’ and ‘Best Collaboration.

Wizkid and Fireboy followed closely with two nominations each.

Meanwhile, Doja Cat led the pack with six nods. She was nominated for Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, Best Female Hip Hop artist, Album of the Year for Planet Her, BET Her for “Woman,” and two awards — Video of the Year and Best Collaboration — for “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA.

Ari Lennox and Drake garnered the second most nods with four nominations each. 

This year’s nominees reflect an abundance of creative expression and Black excellence across music, television, film, and sports, according to bet.com.

Hosted by award-winning actor, writer, director, producer, and philanthropist, Taraji P. Henson, the show will air live, Sunday, June 26, 2022, on BET at 8 pm ET/ PT from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.
