The anticipation for the MTV Video Music Awards on September 10 is building, with nominees recently announced by HipHopDX. Leading the pack is pop icon Taylor Swift with ten nominations, closely followed by Post Malone with nine.
In the realm of hip-hop, the spotlight is on Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem. Despite being 51 years old, Eminem is garnering significant recognition, earning six nominations, including Artist of the Year for his single “Houdini”. Competing against Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, SZA, and Taylor Swift, Eminem remains a formidable contender.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar are expected to dominate the hip-hop categories. Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us”, a notable diss towards Drake, has been nominated for Song of the Year, setting the stage for a compelling showdown. Meanwhile, Drake secured nominations in Best Hip-Hop and Best Collaboration for his works “Rich Baby Daddy” with SZA and “Sexyy Red”.
Beyond these heavyweights, emerging artists like GloRilla, Gunna, Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Scott, and Jack Harlow are also vying for recognition. Voting is now open, with details available on MTV’s official channels..
