Drake's month has been quite turbulent, characterized by an escalating personal feud with Kendrick Lamar. Among the nominations he's received is for the music video "First Person Shooter," a collaboration with J. Cole that may have sparked the recent dispute with Lamar.
Meanwhile, as reported by Rolling Stone, Drake and Lamar will compete in two categories: Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Best Collaboration. In the latter, Drake's "Rich Baby Daddy" featuring Sexyy Red and SZA is nominated against Beyoncé and Lamar's "America Has a Problem (Remix)."
