BET recently announced its nominees for its Hip-Hop Awards. Of course all of the usual suspects appeared multiple times, including Kanye West, Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.
Newcomer Drake scored three nods: MVP of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and Rookie of the Year. How did a relative unknown from Canada become one of the most in-demand names in the rap industry?
Well, after a series of mixtapes and being featured on the network’s 106 & Park, Drake was romantically linked to Rihanna, though their “relationship” seems to have been nothing more than a rumor. He affiliated himself with Lil Wayne’s clique, Young Money, and embarked on a tour, despite hurting his knee. He even appeared on 2009’s BET Awards and had a single climb all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (“Best I Ever Had”).
Not bad feats for the soon-to-be 23-year-old and worthy ammo for a Rookie of the Year nomination. But will he win when the awards are broadcast on October 27? 72% of voting Predicto Mobile players say yes!
