Kendrick leads the BET Awards 2025 nominations with 10, while Doechii, Drake, Future, and GloRilla each earn six nods.

Though it’s been over a year since Kendrick and Drake ’s Great Rap War, the remnants are everywhere, including in the 2025 BET Awards nominations. Future, who’s “Like That” ignited the war of words with its Lamar feature, earned also nominations, including Album of the Year for We Don’t Trust You with Metro Boomin and Best Male Hip Hop Artist too.
