Today the nominees for the Dove Awards 2018 event were announced, and Social Club Misfits were on the list three times. Lecrae was nominated four times while Ty Brasel earned his first nod. Noticeably absent from the nominations is NF. Perhaps the Dove Awards are not recognizing him as a Christian artist anymore. Unfortunately, Snoop Dogg is nominated as well for his ‘Bible of Love’ album. What do you think?
