It’s that time of the year again for the annual Soul Train Awards.
As usual, some of our favorite artists are always in the running for awards, and this year H.E.R and Bruno Mars are tied with six nominations each. Both artists have snagged nominations for Song of the Year. Nominees in other categories include SZA, Daniel Caesar, Ella Mai, Queen Naija and a bunch of others.
According to Billboard, hosting this year’s award show is none other than everyone’s favorite best friend duo, Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold. Erykah Badu, who has hosted the show for the past few years, will be honored with the Legend Award, and Faith Evans will receive the Lady of Soul Award.
