Funniest (And Pettiest) Reactions To The 2021 Grammy Nominations

The absolute funniest (and pettiest) reactions to the 2021 Grammy nominations. …

Here we go…

It’s that messy time of year where the Grammys send the whole entire internet into a TIZZY with questionable/tone-deaf/infuriating/accurate nominations (depending on who you ask) that never fail to get the people going.

This year, the drama stems from The Weeknd receiving 0 noms despite having the biggest album of the year (“After Hours”), 0 women nominated for Best R&B Album, Lil Baby getting shut out of Best Rap Album, and several other brow-furrowing decisions that shook up social media.

On the flip side, Beyoncé leads the nominations with 9 nods on an album-less year dominated by rising superstar Megan Thee Stallion who nabbed 4 nods (3 with Beyonce for the “Savage (Remix)).

There was also very loud criticism from Nicki Minaj, who after 10 nominations still hasn’t received an award. Teyana Taylor and Justin Bieber both shared their frustrations with Academy’s R&B category. Let’s not forget to mention that all this outcry of Grammy snubs is completely overshadowing several amazing artists like CHIKA, Kaytranada, Thundercat, and Freddie Gibbs who all earned nods for this year’s upcoming ceremony.

Interim Grammys President/CEO Harvey Mason Jr. expressed his thoughts on the whole debacle and Mason didn’t expect the backlash.

“This has been a tough year for our industry but I have witnessed, day after day, the incredible resiliency of the music community,” he said via the virtual livestream.

“This year’s nominated recordings are proof that the creative spirit continues to be alive and well, and our nominees are a testament to the passion and perseverance that our community embodies.”

Oh, and about that Weeknd snub.

“We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed at not being nominated,” he said in a statement. “His music this year was excellent.”

“Unfortunately, every year, there are fewer nominations than the number of deserving artists,” he added.

How do you feel about this year’s nominations? Do you think The Weeknd or any of the unhappy artists have a point? Tell us in the comments and peep the funniest (and pettiest) reactions to the noms on the flip.

Attorney Tony Buzbee Pushes Legal Crusade Against Celebrities Linked to Diddy’s Alleged Parties

Diddy

The legal situation surrounding Diddy is heating up as prominent lawyer Tony Buzbee expands his efforts beyond just the music mogul himself. Buzbee is known for representing more than 120 people who have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of misconduct. Now, he is also looking at other celebrities who may have been at Diddy’s infamous parties, where allegations of bad behavior occurred. Buzbee is sending a strong message to those who ignored what was happening: they need to either pay up or may face lawsuits that could seriously harm their reputations.

In a recent appearance on TMZ’s documentary titled The Downfall Of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs, Buzbee talked about the responsibility of celebrities who attended these events. He highlighted that those who saw or heard about alleged sexual abuse and drugging yet chose to stay silent are just as guilty as the ones accused. Buzbee revealed that some of these stars have already received letters demanding they settle privately or risk facing public lawsuits.

This situation has significant implications. Buzbee’s tough stance comes as personalities like Ray J speak up, claiming that various stars have contacted him worried about their involvement. Ray J has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds and suggested that some celebrities try settling with victims before more accusations come to light. It’s unclear if Ray J’s claims indicate real legal trouble or growing anxiety among those involved, but Buzbee’s push for accountability adds a new twist to the ongoing story.

Focused initially on Diddy, this legal battle now shows how famous figures can get caught up in high-profile scandals. As Diddy faces serious federal and criminal cases, the potential consequences for others connected to him are becoming more evident. For now, Tony Buzbee is committed to seeking justice, clarifying that being famous won’t protect anyone from the law. Whether these efforts lead to public trials or quiet settlements, it’s clear that pressure is building for those linked to Diddy’s controversial events.
