The nominations list for the 2022 BET Awards has been released.

Lil Nas X was not included in the list, and he reacted to the exclusion on social media.

The Shade Room and Pop Crave captured the rapper's deleted tweets.

Lil Nas X stated that black gay people had to fight to be acknowledged.

He believed that his past successful year should have made him eligible for a BET nomination.

The awards ceremony will hold on June 26 in Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles.

Doja Cat leads with the highest nominations, followed by Ari Lennox and Drake.

Taraji P. Henson will be returning to host the occasion a second time.

She felt honored to return to her hosting duties and appreciated her associates.
