It is barely 8 Days to the 2016 BET Awards scheduled to hold at the Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, California, on Sunday June 26.  It has been confirmed that Usher, Future and Bryson Tiller are among the many superstars billed to perform at the star studded event – which a member of the organizing committee was quoted as saying “was packaged to have an artiste for every fan all over the world.”

Drake leads the list of nominees at this year’s awards with an impressive nine nominations including ‘Best Male Hip Hop Artist’, ‘Video of Year’, and ‘Best Collaboration’.

Below is a full list of the Nominees in different categories; I am sure one or two of your favourite artistes made the list.
