Cardi B is the most-nominated artist for the 2019 Billboard
Music Awards, earning nominations in categories such as top artist, top female
artist, top rap artist and top rap album to name a few of the 18 categories she
is in.

The Bronx native has so much love from fans and fellow
musicians that it’s difficult to not already see her as the winner. She’s definitely the Queen of hearts! The “I Like It” singer who made history this
year as the only female rapper to win the best rap album Grammy, will compete
for the top prize against Drake, Ariana Grande, Post Malone and Travis Scott.
Drake and Post Malone earned the second-highest number of
nominations, with each artist gaining 17.
Travis Scott earned 12 nominations, followed by the late XXXTentacion
with 10 and Ariana Grande with 9.
Kelly Clarkson is set to return as host for the 2019
telecast, which airs live on NBC, Wednesday May 1st, 2019 at 8pm ET
from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
P.S. I hope Billboard
shows a fitting tribute to Nipsey Hussle which honors his musical legacy and
the extensive work he has done to uplift the Crenshaw community in LA as well
as the attitudes of youth overall.
