The Awards show will return to Atlanta taking over the Cobb Energy Center and will be broadcast to fans on Tuesday, October 8 after an October 5 filming.

Cardi is nominated for MVP of the Year, hot ticket performer, hustler of the year, best collab, single of the year, made-you-look award, and two nods for the best hip-hop video, & sweet 16 categories, which seemingly seems like all of them.
