And AMA goes to…
It’s been a breakout year for Cardi B and the nominations reflect that. Drake seems to always be one of the top nominees year after year and that doesn’t change this year either. Both artists are very likely to add some more awards to their trophy mantles as they each received eight nominations for the 2018 American Music Awards.
Congrats to @Drake! He is tied for the most nominations this year with EIGHT. 💪 #AMAs pic.twitter.com/OdOmMmnv9v
