Among the nominees, H.E.R. is leading the pack with an impressive eight nods for Best R&B/Soul Female Artist, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Collaboration, Video of the Year, and more. Right behind her is Jazmine Sullivan with six nominations, including Best R&B/Soul Female Artist, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year.

Other artists to receive multiple nominations including Wiz Kid and TEMS with five nods each and Blxst with four. Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic, Doja Cat, and Yung Bleu each have three nods a piece.

As the comedic relief for the evening, best-friend duo Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold are set to return as co-hosts of the 2021 Soul Train Awards once again.

BET also announced three-time GRAMMY award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Maxwell will receive the ‘Legend’ award at the ceremony. Plus, multiplatinum singer/songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, and author Ashanti will be the recipient of the ‘Lady of Soul’ honor.

“It’s an honor to be presented with the Legend award by a community that’s been growing with me throughout my career,” said Maxwell. “I’m so grateful to be sharing this moment with everyone and returning to the Apollo for an evening of excellence.”

“I’m honored to be recognized as this year’s ‘Lady of Soul’ honoree,” Ashanti said. “This is a full circle moment for me because I received the ‘Aretha Franklin Entertainer of the Year’ Award at the Lady of Soul Awards in 2002. As we commemorate 50 years of Soul Train, I’m proud to be a part of this legacy and to return to the Apollo to celebrate.”
