Award Nominations: 46th Annual NAACP Image Awards,

Earlier today the 46th Annual NAACP Image Awards were announced a a bit surprisingly, Kendrick Lamar netted three nominations. While they are well deserved, the NAACP Image Awards have often shied away from nominating rap stars and it seems as though Kendrick has broken through.

With that said, Beyoncé and Pharrell topped the nominations with four nominations and you can peep them all below. The 46th Annual NAACP Image Awards is set for Friday, February 6, 2015, with the show set to air live on TV One.
