Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, & Rihanna Nominated for BRIT Awards

Some of America’s biggest stars are invading the BRIT Awards. Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Jay-Z and Kanye West have been announced as nominees at Britain’s prestigious awards show.

Rihanna and new mom Beyoncé will compete against their female counterparts including Lady Gaga, Bjork, and Feist for International Female Solo Artist at the U.K. equivalent to the Grammys.

Four-time Grammy nominee Nicki Minaj is up for International Breakthrough Act, vying against Aloe Blacc, Bon Iver, Foster the People, and Lana Del Rey.

Jay-Z and Kanye West’s The Throne scores a nod for International Group, while Bruno Mars picks up a nomination for International Male Solo Artist.

Britain’s own Adele and Jessie J will face off for British Female Solo Artist and British Single at the 32nd annual ceremony, taking place February 21 at London’s O2 Arena.

@stel, Not to burst your bubble or anything but Rihanna won that award at last year’s show just google it! This would be Rihanna’s second time winning if she does.

@stel, actually you kinda wrong! Kylie Minogue also was a headliner at Glatsonbury back in 2010. Plus, She had been booked to headline in 2005, only to have to pull out after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

anyway… I’ll be happy if any of them win the Brit Awards :)

Really?

This event is after the planned release of Nicki’s second album so I say her album will OBVIOUSLY get pushed back, all YMCMB do: Tyga, Drake, Twist, Weezy, Birdman….

I say the album will be released in early summer to the late.
