Comments Off on Nicki Minaj’s “Dear Grammys” Video Rant + Have The Grammys Missed The Mark AGAIN?
The official nomination list for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards won’t officially be announced until November 15.
Already, some artists are fed up with the academy, including Nicki, who wants fairness for a song that was put in the wrong category.
Nicki says her hit song “Super Freaky Girl” is Hip-Hop, not Pop, which was the genre chosen for the song. She went on Instagram to air her frustrations in a nearly 20-minute video titled “Dear Grammys.”
Other artists, including Bruno Mars, announced that Silk Sonic has decided not to submit their album completely. Their album, An Evening with Silk, was released in November 2021 and is set to be a top contender at the award show.
They had previously won “Record of The Year” at the April Grammy Award ceremony.
The Recording Academy may have missed the mark, yet again since Nicki isn’t the only one frustrated.
Other artists have chosen to boycott the ceremony in previous years.
Among those artists is Drake, who withdrew from the ceremony this year and was reportedly up for “Best Album of the Year” for “Certified Lover Boy.”
The Weeknd also threw in the towel, calling them out for snubbing his record-breaking album “Blinding Lights.”
If Nicki chooses not to withdraw her song, this could be her first Grammy win.
The ceremony’s official date is Sunday, February 5, 2023.
