In news that will probably surprise no one, Cardi B is looking at a stack of MTV VMA nominations this year, with nods in 10 categories including the coveted Video Of The Year, Song Of The Year (both for Finesse (Remix) with Bruno Mars) and Artist Of The Year.
The new mama will also be celebrating recognition in categories like Best New Artist and Best Hip Hop, in what will be her first year being nominated (though she nailed her Bodak Yellow performance last year).
Power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z – as The Carters - follow behind with eight nominations, while Childish Gambino, Drake, Janelle Monae, Lil Uzi Vert, Dua Lipa, Post Malone and Ariana Grande have also nabbed nominations across a slew of categories.
We’ll have to wait until 21st August to see how Cardi and the rest of them go, with the MTV VMAs returning to its very first home at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
