2025 Grammys Predictions: Best Rap Album Nominees


Minaj's Pink Friday 2 could become her record-tying third LP to earn a Grammy nod for best rap album. Billboard breaks down the contenders.

GloRilla, in particular, could pull off a nomination here thanks to her dominant year and the well-timed release of her debut studio LP, Glorious, which snagged the largest opening week total for a female rap album in 2024 during the last few days of first-round voting. Already a three-time Grammy nominee, the North Carolina MC could pull off her second nod for best rap album, which would tie her with Minaj as the second-most nominated female rapper in the category. Nonetheless, We Don’t Trust You, the Billboard 200-topping Future – Metro Boomin joint album that served as Trojan horse for Lamar’s blistering “Like That” verse, is the clear frontrunner for a nomination here.
