The Canadian rapper also faces Kanye West, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj in the Best Hip Hop Video (HYFR) field.

Katy Perry trails behind with four nominations, including Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects.
Justin Bieber is up for two awards - Best Male Video and Best Pop Video - and Carly Rae Jepsen's hit Call Me Maybe has got her a nod in the Best New Artist category alongside British boybands One Direction and The Wanted, as well as Fun and Frank Ocean.
Four-time VMA award-winner Alicia Keys, premiering a new song from her upcoming album, and One Direction - who have two nominations - will perform at the star-studded ceremony for the first time.
"Debuting a new song at the VMAs is definitely special. It's the perfect setting. It's the right energy. It's the right vibe. I can't wait!" Alicia said.
The MTV Video Music Awards will take place at Los Angeles' Staples Centre on September 6.
