He’s leading the 2011 BET Award Nominations with six nominations for his album F.A.M.E.

Amongst his noms, he’s up for Best Male Artist, and Best Collaboration and Video of the Year, for his Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes-assisted “Look at Me Now.”

Chris’ ex Rihanna got four nominations, Kanye West, Drake, and Lil Wayne are featured in the Best Male Hip-Hop Artist circle. Nicki Minaj is up for the Best Female Hip-Hop category.

The Best Female R&B Artist race includes Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Keri Hilson, Marsha Ambrosius and Beyoncé.
