Rapper Kendrick Lamar earned a leading 10 nominations for the American Music Awards on Wednesday, including nods for artist of the year and song of the year for his Grammy-winning diss track ‘Not like Us’. The song is part of a longstanding feud between Kendrick Lamar and Canadian musician Drake, who has sued Universal Music Group for defamation over its release. Post Malone landed eight nominations, including favourite male country artist and favourite country album for ‘F-1 Trillion’. He previously won American Music Awards in rap/hip hop and pop/rock categories. Next on the list were Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Shaboozey, who earned seven nominations each. Taylor Swift, who has picked up more AMAs than any other artist over her career, received six nominations this year. Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’, which took the top award at this year’s Grammys, was nominated for album of the year and favourite country album at the AMAs. She is also in the running for favourite female country artist. Fans will vote on the winners, which will be announced at a May 26 ceremony hosted by Jennifer Lopez.
