Lil Baby Fans Are Convinced He Was Robbed After Doja Cat Won Best New Artist At The AMAs

Lil Baby may own a semi-permanent spot on the Billboard 200 top 10 as his album My Turn is one of the best-selling albums of the year but that hasn’t been enough for his fans. They’re convinced he deserves more recognition — especially after missing out on a number of key awards this year despite impressive sales of both My Turn and its singles “Emotionally Scarred” and “The Bigger Picture.”
Last night at the American Music Awards, Lil Baby was one of the six artists shortlisted to win Best New Artist alongside DaBaby, Doja Cat, Lewis Capaldi, and Roddy Ricch. Doja Cat ultimately took home the award, leaving Baby’s fans doubly disappointed after he failed to win Album Of The Year at the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards — an award that went to Roddy Ricch for Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial.
The double “L” sent the Atlanta rapper’s fans to Twitter in droves to express their discontent. “How the hell Doja cat win over Lil baby i’m tired of that man getting robbed,” read one complaint. Another referenced Doja’s chat room scandal from a few months ago (because once the narratives are set, they’re impossible to correct): “YALL TELLIN ME LIL BABY LOST TO DOJA CAT??” wrote the apoplectic fan. “OL GIRL WHO WAS IN CHAT ROOMS WIT RACISTS???”

Naturally, in an era where anyone with an email address can have a platform, people will share their opinions (and we all know what they say about those). Lil Baby seems unbothered about both losses, choosing not to respond for the most part, but it seems he’ll have to be satisfied with just having a best-selling album, two of the biggest singles of the year, and a legion of adoring, loyal fans who will take offense for him when they feel he’s been slighted.
They robbed @lilbaby4PF of Artist of the Year again and gave it to @DojaCat wtf. #AMAs2020 #dojacat #lilbaby

OB1 seeks longing with new afrobeats anthem “Miss You”
The new single “Miss You” by rising Afrobeats star OB1 brings him back into the spotlight. The song’s steady, soulful beat evokes strong emotions. OB1 is renowned for his exceptional performances and for seamlessly blending fast beats with personal stories. He is now embarking on a new phase of his life, one that is characterized by openness, growth, and honesty.
The first note of “Miss You” sounds like a soft confession whispered over beautiful drums. OB1 is honest about how he feels and thinks about a love that once seemed strong but has since slipped away from him. His voice, which is full of emotion, echoes the pain of being apart and the strange silence that comes with someone being gone. It’s an emotional journey filled with longing, memories, and a desire to make things right.
“Miss You,” produced by NAYA Music, an independent, Black-owned label that supports emerging Afrobeats and Afro-fusion artists, showcases how much OB1 has grown as an artist. The production is professional yet still personal, so every lyric and beat holds meaning. You see him grow, not just as a musician, but also as a storyteller who isn’t afraid to let people into his life.
OB1’s song has a sound that hits you in the chest as well as your ears, and it mixes modern Afrobeats rhythms with moving melodies. This release makes it abundantly clear that OB1 is also shaping the memories, moments, and feelings that we all share. “Miss You” might be his best work yet.
