BET Award Nominees Announced

BET has announced their nominees for the 2011 BET Awards.  The list has a couple of artists feeling like they were snubbed.  Honestly, I can understand why people are wondering WTH was going on.  Check the list below and tell me what you think.


Best Female R&B Artist
Marsha Ambrosius
Beyonce'
Keri Hilson
Jennifer Hudson
Rihanna

~Now y'all KNOW I LOVEEEE me some Beyone', BUT!! I don't understand how she was included in the category and her last record was released in 2008.  Keyshia Cole took to Twitter and jokingly mentioned that in BET & MTV's eyes, she is NOT THE SH*T anymore, LOL. I totally feel her, she should have been in this category instead of my girl Bey.~

Best Male R&B Artist
Chris Brown
Cee-Lo Green
Bruno Mars
Trey Songz
Usher

Best Female Hip Hop Artist
Diamond
Cymphonique
Lola Monroe
Nicki Minaj

~Trina tweeted "F*ck BET" when she saw that she was not included as a nominee.  I can feel her too.  Sorry, but I don't understand why Lola Monroe and Cymphonique were chosen.  Looks to me like they were just thrown in to switch things up a bit.  Doesn't matter anyways, we know Nicki has that sewn up regardless.~
