Beyoncé tops 2017 BET Awards nominations
Beyoncé is the leading nominee for this year’s BET Awards, the network announced Monday morning.
The pop star, who is the most nominated and winning artist in the show’s 17-year-history, scored seven nods for her “Lemonade” — including album of the year.
The ceremony celebrates black excellence in music, film, TV, sports and philanthropy and will air live June 25 from the Microsoft Theater at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
Last year, Beyoncé’s polarizing “Formation” video took one of the night’s biggest honors, video of the year; this year, her bawdy anthem “Sorry” is up against hits from Big Sean, Migos, Bruno Mars and her sister, Solange.
She’s also nominated for collaboration (with two different songs), female R&B/pop artist and video director.
