2face Idibia, Drake, Toya Delazy, Ice prince, Chris Brown and others nominated for 2013 BET Awards

Nigerian music Stars 2face Idibia and Ice Prince were on Tuesday announced as one of six nominees in the Best International Act category of the 2013 BET Awards. They come up against a rather stiff competition in R2Bees from Ghana, South Africa’s Toya Delazy, and Donald and Radio and Weasel from Uganda.

Drake is nominated three times for the top prize, video of the year. His hit, "Started from the Bottom," will compete with his collaborations with 2 Chainz ("No Lie") and A$AP Rocky ("Problems"). The top award has 10 nominees, including Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," Kanye West's "Mercy," ''Adorn" by Miguel and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop."

Charlie Wilson was announced as this year's Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award honoree. Chris Brown was announced as the first confirmed performer. (full list of nominees after the cut)

R. Kelly will also perform at the awards show, to air live June 30 from the Nokia Theater L.A. Live. This year's BET Awards will be the culmination of the cable net's first ever BET Experience, a three-day music and lifestyle fest done in partnership with AEG Live.

The ceremony will be hosted by Rush Hour star Chris Tucker.
