The Weeknd has broken his silence. On Tuesday night, the XO singer took to Twitter to address his shocking Grammy Awards shutout. The Weeknd made an accusation of corruption, and then called on the Recording Academy to be more transparent in their process, suggesting there were unknown factors that led to his After Hours snub. “The Grammys remain corrupt,” he wrote. “You […]
The nominees for the Grammy Awards were announced Tuesday and, as is often the case, there were a lot of artists (and fan bases) airing objections over their belief(s) that some serious snubs took place. Already we’ve seen criticisms aired by Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, The Weeknd’s fans, and Quality Control’s Pierre Thomas (in defense of […]
Another Grammy nomination day, another deluge of confusion and disappointment. It’s been three decades since a who’s who of rap boycotted the Grammys for not respecting rap, and as a whole, they still don’t get it when it comes to Black music. Or maybe we just don’t get it. Perhaps expecting a historically anti-Black industry […]
Cardi B wasn’t too pleased with Wiz Khalifa‘s recent Twitter Q&A. Following the announcement of the 2021 Grammy nominations, Wiz took some time to answer questions about the awards show and how it leaves many artists feeling snubbed. He explained that he, too, felt unrecognized by the Recording Academy but remains optimistic that he’ll one day be […]
Lil Baby is clearly a strong contender for music’s 2020 MVP. Still, the Recording Academy overlooked Lil Baby’s album when recognizing some of the year’s best projects and the snub didn’t sit well with his label head. On Tuesday, Quality Control’s Pierre Thomas took to Twitter, where he blasted the Grammys for being “disconnected” from […]
Justin Bieber walked away from the recent announcement of Grammy nominations with four more nods than the average musician. However, the one-time teen idol was upset with the three pop-related nominations he recieved for tracks off of his album Changes. His reasoning? He intended his latest release to be appreciated as R&B. In a post […]
Despite their turbulent past, 50 Cent is willing to share the spotlight with The Game if given the opportunity. During a recent interview with Big Boy, Fif says that the only Verzuz match up that makes sense to him would be a face-off with The Game. “Maybe Game,” 50 said when asked about a potential […]
Someone’s getting fired… maybe. Pitchfork reported on Tuesday that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s chart-topping single “WAP” had not been submitted for Grammy consideration. For an album or single to be eligible for the 2021 Grammy Awards, it had to have been released between Sept. 1, 2019 and Aug. 31, 2020. “WAP”—which debuted on Aug. 7—dropped in time to […]
Refreshingly, the Weeknd has made it clear in a number of After Hours era interviews that he’s been taking COVID-19 quite seriously. Abel, of course, is one of a number of artists whose 2020 agenda was—for lack of a more apt description—wholly fucked up by the seriousness of the pandemic here in the U.S. While […]
DJ Khaled looks to be working on his next album and took to Instagram to remind his fans that he’s cooking up something special. On Wednesday, Khaled posted a video on his Instagram hinting at his next project. “Let me tell you something, I gotta get right, I got a big shoot coming up,” Khaled said in the video. […]
