But the rapper shot back, saying, \u201cthis is my point exactly how can i get acknowledged by the most acclaimed award show in the world and then not even just 1 nomination from my own people? is that not crazy? am i really tripping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rapper also pointed out how collaborator Jack Harlow was nominated, but he wasn\u2019t. \u201cfunny thing is industry baby was the biggest song me &#038; jack released last year in the eligibility period but only one of us got a nomination,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilNasX\/status\/1534623287476555776\">wrote<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These are a follow-up to tweets Lil Nas X sent earlier this month.

He was nominated for a Best New Artist BET Award in 2020, and we proudly showcased his extraordinary talent and creativity on the show twice: he performed \u201cOld Town Road\u201d with Billy Ray Cyrus at \u201cBET Awards\u201d 2019 and his \u201cBET Awards\u201d 2021 performance was a highlight of our show. No one cheered louder that night than BET,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, this year, he was not nominated by BET\u2019s Voting Academy, which is comprised of an esteemed group of nearly 500 entertainment professionals in the fields of music, television, film, digital marketing, sports journalism, public relations, influencers, and creative arts. No one from BET serves as a member of the Voting Academy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doja Cat had the most BET Awards nominations this year with six total, followed by Drake and Ari Lennox with four each.
