Beyoncé leads for the most nominations. Bruno Mars follows with five. Solange Knowles, Migos, and Chance The Rapper are tied with four nominations. Chance The Rapper will also be honored with the Humanitarian Award for his selfless efforts for his hometown of Chicago.

New Edition will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award just after announcing their biographical mini-series at last year’s award show.

For the past seven years, Nicki Minaj won Best Female Hip-Hop Artist Award. She’s nominated an eight time but will not be in attendance. There are a variety of reasons why Nicki won’t be there, byt Twitter thinks it’s because she has been dethroned.
