Behind him is Megan Thee Stallion, who was up for six awards, four of which are for her “WAP” collab with Cardi B. Meanwhile, BTS, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Drake, Giveon, Lil Nas X and Olivia Rodrigo were all nominated for five awards apiece.

Rodrigo — who is a first-time nominee — was up for several big awards, including Artist of the Year, Best New Artist and Song of the Year for “driver’s license.” Another first-time nominee is Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter, who could win her first-ever Moon Person in the Best R&B category for her appearance on her mom’s track “Brown Skin Girl,” which also features SAINt JHN and WizKid.
