Snoop Dogg Is Nominated For Gospel Album Of The Year At The BET Awards

BET announced the nominations for their 2018 Awards Ceremony. Nominated in the Best Gospel/Inspirational Category is Hip Hop Icon Snoop Dogg, alongside B.Slade – who are up for ‘Words Are Few‘ (taken from Snoop’s Gospel Album “Bible Of Love’). Also up in the Gospel Field is Ledisi & Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, Lecrae & Tori Kelly, and Tasha Cobbs-Leonard & Nicki Minaj (for their collaboration on Leonard’s “Heart.Passion.Pursuit.”, ‘I’m Getting Ready‘).

Back in 2004, KanyeWest’s “College Dropout” was nominated for “Rap/Hip-Hop CD of the Year” at the Stellar Gospel Music Awards. However, after major backlash from the Christian Community, the decision of inclusion was later rescinded by the Stellars’ Committee.
