Cardi B führt MTV VMA Nominierungen an

Die Carters (Beyoncé und ihr Gatte Jay Z, acht Nominierungen), Childish Gambino und Drake (je sieben Nominierungen) dürfen sich ebenfalls gute Chancen bei den VMAs ausrechnen, die am 20. August in der Radio City Music Hall in New York über die Bühne gehen werden.

Im letzten Jahr holte sich Kendrick Lamar den begehrten Preis für das beste Video ("Humble"). Schon jetzt steht fest, dass ein Promi aus dem Musik-Biz nicht sein Erbe antreten wird: Sehr zum Unmut ihrer Fans darf Taylor Swift nicht in der Hauptkategorie an den Start gehen.

MTV verkündete die Nominierungen via Instagram. Hier die vollständige Liste:
