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

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Walks Away Unscathed from Shocking Car Crash

New York City has seen its fair share of excitement, but for rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, this past Sunday (March 16) turned into a real scare. The popular artist, famous for his catchy tunes and deep lyrics, was involved in a serious car crash around 1 AM EST. After the accident, his white sports car was badly damaged and looked almost unrecognizable. Fortunately, A Boogie came out of it without a single scratch. Fans quickly took to social media to share their relief and support, thrilled that their favorite artist was okay.
Photos from the scene showed how bad the damage was, his car’s hood had been completely torn off and left to the side as it awaited a tow truck. While the car was in rough shape, A Boogie was safe. Instead of going to the hospital, he went straight home, proving that sometimes luck is on your side. Later, A Boogie’s team confirmed to TMZ that the car belonged to him and shared some details about the timing and location of the crash. However, questions remain about how the accident happened. Was there another car involved? Or was it just A Boogie’s vehicle? The New York Police Department hasn’t given more information yet, leaving fans and reporters guessing what caused the crash.
This incident comes at a time when A Boogie has been more low-key since the release of his 2024 album, Better Off Alone. The album showcases his unique blend of emotional depth and confidence, reinforcing his place as a strong voice in hip-hop. After this close call, fans are curious if he will incorporate this experience into his music or talk about it publicly soon. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is truly grateful. A destroyed car is one thing, but walking away unharmed is a blessing that money can’t buy.

Kanye West Questions Kim Kardashian’s Control Over North’s Name

Kanye West is once again in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not just about his music or fashion. He recently took to Twitter to express his frustrations about something personal, why his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, holds the rights to their daughter North West’s name. He shared a legal document that outlined the trademarks associated with North’s name, asking his followers how they felt about the situation. This revelation comes amidst ongoing efforts for parents to co-parent their four children. While Kanye and Kim have tried to appear united for their kids, it’s evident there have still been unresolved tensions between them since their high-profile divorce.
At the heart of this issue isn’t just about the trademark rights but also about who has control over North’s future. Kim, who has built a successful business empire using her family name, took these legal steps to safeguard North’s name as a valuable asset. However, Kanye feels left out of this decision and worries about his father’s rights. Also, it’s worth noting that North has recently been making more public appearances, especially related to Kanye’s VULTURES project. This has led to speculation that Kim’s move to secure the trademarks could be a way of managing how North’s name is used in upcoming projects and businesses.
This situation raises important questions about parental rights and how celebrity children are raised in the public eye. Should Kanye have had a say before these trademarks were secured? Is Kim simply looking out for North’s future? Or is this just another episode in the ongoing power struggle between two of the world’s most famous stars? This is not the last time we’ll hear about Kanye and Kim’s complex relationship and their ongoing efforts to navigate co-parenting.
