MTV VMA records that Eminem holds & might break soon

Posted on By

Eminem is one of the most nominated artist in the history of the MTV VMAs. The Detroit legend has been nominated for 66 times and won 13 awards, including 6 is now pending. The first win came in 1999 in “Best New Artist in a Video” category for “My Name Is” music video. The last nominations was in 2022 when his joint with Snoop Dogg, “From The D 2 The LBC” was nominated in Best Hip-Hop category but lost to Nicki Minaj’s “Do We Have a Problem?” featuring Lil Baby.

Right now Eminem is tied with singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel for the most wins by a male artist with 13 each. It’s likely that Eminem breaks that tie this year to become the male artist with the most VMA wins in history. being nominated six times thanks for his hit single “Houdini.” While Em will likely not win Video of the Year (Taylor Swift is probably taking it), he could take Best Hip-Hop with ease, especially as the most awarded artist in the category (Nicki Minaj) is not in contention this year. He could also win in technical categories, especially for Best Editing, Best Direction and Best Visual Effects as “Houdini” video involves a lot of high technology and artificial intelligence in visuals. Slim Shady is also nominated in “Artist Of The Year” category for the first time in his career.

Eminem is currently holding the crown as the rapper with the most VMA wins in history. The Rap God also extended his record for most ‘Video of the Year’ nominations in #VMAs history (8).
