The 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards was taped at Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Centre on Friday, Sept. 30, and premiered Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on BET.

Drake leads the pack with 14 nominations at the 2022 Bet Hip Hop Awards. Following the “Certified Lover Boy” is Kanye West coming in second with 10 nominations and Kendrick Lamar with nine.

Future snagged eight nods and Baby Keem, Cardi B, and J. Cole tie for six nods each.

Fat Joe will be hosting this year’s award show. “This will be the biggest award show in history,” Fat Joe told the Billboard previously. “It’s truly an honor to host and produce the BET Hip Hop Awards, and I can’t thank (BET EVP) Connie (Orlando) and the entire BET family enough for this opportunity.”

“We’re going to celebrate music, culture, and entertainment, honor the biggest and brightest stars in the world, and make this an unforgettable night full of laughs and surprises. Always remember that yesterday’s host is not today’s host.”
