Kendrick Lamar is a leading nominee at next month's BET Awards.
The famed rapper received 10 nominations on Thursday, including Album of the Year for his highly acclaimed project GNX, the channel reported.
His diss track Not Like Us, which emerged during a feud with Drake, was nominated for Video of the Year and a People's Choice Award.
Lamar made a splash by sweeping the Grammy Awards, winning Song of the Year and Record of the Year for “Not Like Us.”
He then wowed audiences with his innovative performance during the Super Bowl halftime show, becoming the first solo hip-hop artist to land that coveted slot. He is currently on the Grand National Tour with SZA.
Doechii, Drake, Future, and GloRilla tied for second place for nominations, with six nominations each. Metro Boomin was nominated five times, while SZA and The Weeknd each received four nominations.

The comedian and actor, who hosted the BET Awards in 2011, described this year's ceremony as “a dress-code event.”
“This is an opportunity to reflect, appreciate and honor life's unforgettable moments,” Hart said in a press release.
The awards ceremony will air live on June 9 from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
