The 2024 Billboard Music Awards are almost here, and Afrobeats is taking the spotlight. Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, and Tyla are all competing for Top Afrobeats Artist.
Tems is nominated for Top Afrobeats Song with her track “Me & U.” She’s joined by Tyla, who makes a strong impression with three entries in the same category: “Water,” “Truth or Dare,” and “Jump,” featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
This year’s show, hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, airs live on Fox on December 12 at 8 PM ET/PT and will also be available on Paramount+ and Fire TV Channels. It’s an exciting return to Fox, where the awards originally premiered in 1990.

Drake follows with eight nominations, including Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Artist, while Kendrick Lamar has eight nods, competing for Top Rap Artist alongside Metro Boomin and Future.
In the rap categories, Nicki Minaj and GloRilla represent the women, with Nicki landing multiple nominations, including Top Rap Touring Artist. SZA has six nominations, including Top Female Artist and Top Billboard 200 Artist.
Beyoncé appears in country categories this year, with nominations for “Cowboy Carter” in Top Country Female Artist and Top Country Album. Other big names like The Weeknd, Brent Faiyaz, Doja Cat, and Chris Brown are also on the list.
