Many fans of the rapper took to his defense, calling out BET for not including him but nominating Jack Harlow. One wrote,
“BET Awards didn’t nominate Lil Nas X but know who they did nominate? Jack Harlow.” Another tweeted, “Lil Nas X, was the most streamed male artist of 2021, did not get one nomination, but Jack Harlow and Bruno did? BET Awards and NAACP Image awards tea is CLOCKED.”
As the conversation continued, Latto expressed her excitement about being nominated. The ‘Big Energy’ rapper tweeted,
“Oh s**t. I’m nominated for two BET Awards.”
