Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé & Lil Wayne Lead 2015 BET Awards Nominations

The nominations are in and Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé and Lil Wayne lead the pack for the 2015 BET Awards.

Rapper Nicki Minaj and singer Chris Brown received the most nominations with six each. Beyoncé and Lil Wayne received four nominations each.

Minaj is nominated for Best Female Hip Hop Artist, an award she has taken home every year since 2010. At last year's ceremony, Minaj reminded everyone of her winning streak during her acceptance speech.

"You guys, this is always very, very emotional for me because this is my fifth year winning this award and I don't take it for granted, I really don't," she said. "I thank God that I've been placed in a position to do something and represent women in a culture that is so male-driven."

The show airs on BET on June 28. Check out the list of nominees here:
