The Best of Rap at the BBMAs

This year’s Billboard Music Awards are just over a month away and so we recently heard the nominations for this event. Julia Michaels and Pete Wentz did the honors on Good Morning America the other day, so we now know who all has a chance at taking home hardware on May 21.
