The global superstar is up for seven trophies at this year’s BET Awards in categories including Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, Video of the Year and Album of the Year.

But Beyoncé will have to face off against her sister, Solange, in those same categories, who’s nominated on the strength of her “A Seat at the Table” album.

Kehlani, Rihanna and Mary J. Blige will also battle the Knowles sisters for the Best Female R&B/Pop Artist award.

The Best Male R&B/Pop Artist category also features a stack of A-list talent vying for the win, including Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Usher and Trey Songz.
