BET Awards is back!

And surprisingly, Chris Brown is this year’s top contender with six nominations!

He is up for best male R&B artist and viewer’s choice and video of the year for “Look at Me Now.”

He’s also being nominated twice in the best collaboration category for his No. 1 R&B hits “Deuces,” featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall, and “Look at Me Now,” with Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne.

Even better, Brown is also nominated for best actor for his role in the heist thriller “Takers.”

Following Brown closely behind is Lil Wayne. The rapper brought home five nominations this year.

Three of Lil Wayne’s nominations come from his guest appearance on Brown’s “Look at me Now”; He is also up for best male hip-hop artist and viewer’s choice for “6 Foot 7 Foot.”

Kanye West, Drake and Rihanna are up for four awards each. While Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Trey Songz, Cee Lo Green and B.o.B also received multiple nominations.

Other nominees for video of the year include Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair,” West’s “Runaway,” B.o.B’s “Airplanes,” Keri Hilson’s “Pretty Girl Rock” and Marsha Ambrosius’ “Far Away.”

The show will be aired live on June 26 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Alicia Keys will perform, and comedian Kevin Hart will be the host.
