Dot’s TPAB is also nominated in the Best Rap Album category, in which he competes against J. Cole, Drake, Dr. Dre and Nicki Minaj, and his song “These Walls” featuring Bilal, Anna Wise and Thundercat is up for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Fetty Wap is ending the year on a high note with a nomination for “Trap Queen” in the Best Rap Performance category. J. Cole’s “Apparently” Drake’s “Back to Back,” Kendrick’s “Alright,” Nicki Minaj’s “Truffle Butter” and Kanye West’s “All Day” are also up for the coveted award.
The Weeknd snagged seven nominations for Beauty Behind the Maddness, tying his tally with Taylor Swift.
