“I can remember growing up as a child and watching the VMA’s and wondering what it was like to hold a moonman and seeing the commercials and saying ‘I Want My MTV.’ And to now be multi-nominated on my 1st project is crazy and not to mention a blessing and an honor in itself,’ said Atlanta rapper B.o.B in regards to his nomination. “I want to thank MTV and the fans for adding to an already amazing year.”
