Ari Lennox took overreacting to a new high when she literally cried to her fans on twitter over not winning the BET Soul Train Award for Album Of The Year. While her frustration is completely understandable her now deleted machine-gun styled tweets were a bit impulsive, I mean she even said that she’d “quit” music…
Simultaneously the Grammy nominations also hit the net, and while artist like Lizzo had a ton of nominations, there were some artist who were not so fortunate. Wale, for example took it to his Instagram to indirectly express his disappointment.
He also tweeted this:
On chill was VERY eligible . Very
— Wale (@Wale) November 20, 2019
Word on the street is that Wale’s sixth studio album Wow…That’s Crazy is cool, “On Chill” does go hard, but maybe he missed the cut-off mark set by the Grammy Academy.
Rapsody was another rapper to reaction on social media about being snubbed.
The Lack Of Female Rapper Nominees
Rapsody was not the only female rapper snubbed by the academy, in fact, the rap categories only had one female rapper nominated (Cardi B’s feature on Offset’s “Clout,” for Best Rap Performance). This year’s Grammy nominees did include more female artist than in the past, but unfortunately, they were not found in the hip-hop categories. This excluded acts like Megan Thee Stallion, Tierra Whack, and Doja Cat.
