What a difference a year makes. Last year, Chris Brown had a breakdown onstage while performing his emotional tribute to Michael Jackson at the BET Awards. Now the R&B superstar leads the pack with six nominations at the BET Awards 2011, including Video of the Year and Best Male R&B Artist. His collaborator Lil Wayne follows with five nods, while Rihanna, Drake, and Kanye West score four apiece.
In the coveted Video of the Year category, Chris’ “Look at Me Now” featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes will compete against Kanye West and Pusha T’s “Runaway,” Keri Hilson’s “Pretty Girl Rock,” B.o.B and Hayley Williams’ “Airplanes,” Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair,” and Marsha Ambrosius’ “Far Away.”
Other artists who picked up multiple nominations include Nicki Minaj, Marsha Ambrosius, B.o.B, Busta Rhymes, and Willow Smith.
The BET Awards 2011 will air live from Los Angeles on June 26 hosted by comedian Kevin Hart. Check below for a full list of nominees.
