Drake hasn't dropped his 2013 album yet, but the Young Money hitmaker looks to reign over the rest of the calendar year. Not only is Drizzy a safe bet to earn a few platinum plaques after he drops his third LP, Nothing Was the Same, but odds are the Toronto MC will add a few statues to his collection as well now that he is nominated for a whopping 12 awards at the upcoming 2013 BET Awards.

On Tuesday (May 14), BET held a Los Angeles press conference and revealed that Drizzy is up for a dozen awards, including five separate nominations in the Video of the Year category for "Started From the Bottom," "HYFR" and his contributions to 2 Chainz's "No Lie," A$AP Rocky's "F---in' Problems" and Kendrick Lamar's "Poetic Justice."

Chris Brown and R. Kelly were also announced as performers, and "Friday" actor Chris Tucker will be the host, when it airs live June 30.

Drake isn't the only big nominee: Both 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar earned eight noms apiece, A$AP Rocky and Jay-Z each have five, and Justin Timberlake and Miguel have four each.

All it took was a for Selena Gomez to confirm that she and Justin Bieber are indeed over. Since first inciting breakup rumors last November, Jelena have reconciled and split up so many times it's hard to keep count.

The "Come & Get It" singer admitted to MTV News that her relationship with Bieber had a lot of "crazy and very intense" ups and downs. And fans are starting to feel it, too.

Ever since Gomez confirmed her single status in a radio interview last week, fans have a pretty clear message for the twosome: Their relationship woes are just plain "confusing."

"I'm so confused people say that Selena and Justin are not together. Oh wtf??" @IloEl wrote. ‏@Bieberlights_xx mirrored that statement, adding, "Are Justin and Selena together or not this is definitely the most confusing relationship I've ever witnessed."

@avonwave added, "I don't need a boyfriend because Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's relationship is enough stress for me." @ofwgktajbs agreed, writing "ive had enough of this bipolar relationship."

And, don't expect to see them together on the small screen either. It was recently rumored that she and Bieber may join the next season of joining the ranks of other teen stars-turned-judges like . But, Gomez shut down the rumor, explaining that she's too "sensitive" to properly judge a show like "Idol."

But even though they may not be together at the moment, many fans are optimistic that the two will end up together someday. @MySelBieber wrote, "I hate that we don't know exactly what's ...

Headliner: Chance the Rapper

Representing: Southside of Chicago

Mixtape: Acid Rap

Real Spit: Chance the Rapper laced his 13-track mixtape Acid Rap with nostalgic samples that evoke a sense of familiarity despite the freshness of the songs. But over those melodic beats, he also encourages popular discourse and gives listeners with the opportunity to question themselves.

"I'm not really worried about co-signs or being accepted by the hip-hop community at this point," Chance tells MTV News. "My come-out record, 10 Day, was the thing people were supposed to hear and figure out 'he's good' or 'he's not good. Acid Rap is the comeback tape and it asks way bigger and better questions than 'Is he good at rapping?' It's an important project that people will listen to, gain insight on the world from, and ask themselves questions that need to be asked."

One of those thoughtful takeaways would be the extent to which racial stigmas still affect the interaction of youth in minority neighborhoods. It's a topic that Chancelor Bennett broaches on "Everybody's Something," a track which was inspired by his own experience growing up on the Southside of Chicago, and amplified by Lil Durk's musings about chopping off his dreads on the mixtape Life Ain't No Joke.

"Everybody's Something": "I used to tell h--s I was dark light or off white, but I'll fight if a n---a said that I talk white/ And both my parents was black but they saw it fit that I talk right/ With my drawers hid but my hard head stayed in the clouds like a lost kite."

Lyrical breakdown: ...

The Wu-Tang Clan have always been different. In 1993, the nine-man rap collective dropped their groundbreaking debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and flooded hip-hop's airwaves with dusty soul loops and crashing kung-fu sound bites.

It was a unique sound at the time, and on the Clan's upcoming reunion LP, A Better Tomorrow, fans can expect to hear more of their one-of-a-kind sonic signature.

"It's very unique and you can't buy it nowhere else," the RZA told MTV News on Monday at Fox's upfront event in New York. "You gotta go to Whole Foods for certain foods, right? Well, there are certain things you have to come to Wu-Tang for."

Coachella Fans Brave Sandstorms For Wu-Tang Reunion.

RZA hit the carpet at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to promote his upcoming television drama "Gang Related." The series, which tells the story of a gang member who infiltrates the San Francisco Police Department, stars Terry O'Quinn and, of course, RZA. The rapper/producer/actor was just as excited to talk about his music as he was his acting.

"I was deep in the middle of it, deep in the recording, deep in the writing, and my assistant told me to read this screenplay, 'Gang Related,' " he recalled. "I read it, and I kinda hurried up and finished my music, and I jumped on this. But the music is really unique."

This year is a huge one for RZA and the Wu. Last month, the group — which has been fractured for the past few years — performed at Coachella, and on June 2, they ...

Beyoncé was forced to pull out of a scheduled Mrs. Carter World Tour date in Antwerp, Belgium, on doctor's orders.

According to a statement released to the Associated Press, the singer, reportedly suffering from dehydration and exhaustion, was advised by doctors to rest, and might need to hold off on Wednesday night's second show at Antwerp's Sportpaleis as well.

The statement added that the singer is, "awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision" on Wednesday's show. The tour kicked off in Serbia on April 15 and is scheduled to continue through an August 5 date at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. She has played 20 dates so far and has 11 European shows left after the Antwerp gigs before the production kicks into gear again with a June 28 date at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show cancellation comes just one day after the latest rumors popped up that Bey, 31, might be pregnant with her second child with Jay-Z.

The New York Post's Page Six reported that the couple, parents to daughter Blue Ivy, 16 months, are keeping the pregnancy under wraps. Citing unnamed sources, the Post claimed that Beyoncé strategically wore a high, belted waist gown at last week's Met Gala to camouflage her midsection.

During an appearance on 
 last week, Beyonce said, "I would like more children. I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being a big sister." She didn't, however, talk about when that might happen, saying only, "at some point, when it's supposed ...

Here comes the bride! ...We think.

Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) may have taken their relationship to the next level, but will friend Cece (Hannah Simone) and fiancé Shivrang (Satya Bhabha) be able to do the same, making it to the altar without an altercation? (We're looking at you, Schmidt!) That's the big question on Tuesday's season finale episode of

Star Jake Johnson stopped by MTV News recently to give us a preview of the episode.

"There's a horse in the episode. There's a badger in the episode. Taylor Swift is in the episode. And Nick and Jess come to a crossroads of their relationship, and a decision is made," Johnson explained.

It's been well-publicized that the as a mysterious wedding guest named Elaine, but a badger?

"The badger is very cool. There was a real badger," Johnson confirmed, adding that the little critter was courteous enough to bring his own snacks to set. "I don't know if you know this ... to keep the badger in a good mood [is] fed mice heads. Lamorne [Morris] and I were next to it, so [the handler] started feeding it, and Lamorne goes, 'What's that? Can I feed it?' And she goes, 'It's just a bunch of mice heads.' It's disgusting. So when you watch it, I want you to think of that sweet little badger devouring the heads of nice mice, not like disgusting mice."

Sure, okay. We'll do that. (Not really.) But maybe we should get back to Swift. What was it like having the starlet on set?

"She was ...

Vampire Weekend don't get "dark" on their brand-new Modern Vampires of the City album, they get "deep," turning song structures inside out, bending frontman Ezra Keonig's lithe voice beneath the weight of digital lacquer, and taking their preppy pop in bold new directions. It is a third album in every sense of the term, the adventurous, unapologetic one bands earn the right to make after proving they're in it for the long haul (something VW did with 2010's Contra), and ease into the next phase of their career.

It represents a brand-new Vampire Weekend, to be certain, and yet, Modern Vampires also spends no shortage of time looking backwards ... it is a bold reinvention, and, in a lot of ways, a rediscovery, too. Of past themes and traditions, songs and styles long forgotten, yet readily available; consider it musical archeology, because VW certainly do.

"We went a little further, a little deeper, in every direction on this record, but I think that, we've always tried to connect to a tradition," multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij said. "Whether that's a recording tradition or a songwriting tradition or a tradition that dates back to the 16th century, you're connecting to a tradition, and that's always somewhere in the back of our minds. Whether it's other songs or music that we love, I hope that, at the end of the day, we are connecting in a way that's real."

"Looking back on everything, time is a big part of it, as a theme, especially with the music, and the approach to production," Koenig added. ...

Women love Sosa, but Chief Keef has captured the heart of one woman in particular — and now, he's rumored to be engaged.

The teenage Chicago rap star isn't denying the reports. In fact, on Monday, he tweeted and Instagramed the MediaTakeOut.com headline that reported that he was engaged to Pretty Mesha, a video model who has appeared on WorldStarHipHop.com and in Show Magazine.

The two have confirmed that they are an item on Twitter and last week the rapper posted a picture of Mesha on his Instagram wearing a red Glory Boyz Entertainment sweatshirt and what appears to be a diamond engagement ring on her left hand.

"Keef LOVE me," Mesha tweeted on Sunday before sending a number of public messages, some of which Keef himself retweeted.

"I love SOSA," she continued.

When MediaTakeOut published their engagement story, Keef grabbed a screenshot and posted it on Instagram, never refuting the claims.

Keef, who was released from jail in March after completing a 60-day sentence for a probation violation, has been making plenty of headlines lately. On Wednesday, he and Gucci Mane took to Twitter to announce that the "I Don't Like" rapper has signed on to be a part of Gucci's 1017 Brick Squad label and on Sunday he posted a picture of his Chief Keef-branded Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, which he says will be in stores soon.

While things seem to have been going well for Keef, TMZ reported on Monday that the Finally Rich rapper will have to fork over $3,000 a month ...
