Jamie Foxx is at the top of the list of finalists for this year’s Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Awards. According to Billboard, Foxx is a contender in eight categories, including top R&B/hip-hop album and top R&B/hip-hop artist. Foxx’s collaborations with Kanye West on “Gold Digger” and Ludacris on “Unpredictable” garnered two mentions each. Both are in the running for top R&B/hip-hop song. “It’s an honor to be nominated for this R&B award. Billboard is a true testament to the fans and people out there and I truly appreciate all the love and support,” Foxx says. Also behind Foxx with seven nods each are Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige.
