While there are a number of music awards ceremonies in a given year, none are as closely followed as the Grammys. That’s why fans were in an uproar on Tuesday after seeing that The Weeknd had not been nominated for a single 2021 Grammy Award despite his album After Hours being one of the most commercially successful records of the year.
The Weeknd was awarded for his album at nearly every other music awards ceremony this year so many of the singer’s listeners were surprised to learn that After Hours was snubbed for a Grammy nomination. After the full list of nominations was unveiled, fans flooded Twitter with their disappointment.
I’m also not understanding how tf YUMMY by Justin Bieber got nominated for best solo performance over blinding lights by The Weeknd ??? Abel sounds exactly like himself when he sings AND he puts on an entire show with costume and everything !!! pic.twitter.com/gRNuUqKYwA

i’m happy about taylor, BUT i’m so sad about the weeknd, like finally a good male artist who reinvents himself serving vocals and concepts, dropping one of the biggest global smash hit of this year and for what?

Kid Cudi also agreed that The Weeknd deserved a nomination.
Abel was robbed man this shits weak

Despite fans’ disappointment, the Recording Academy interim president Harvey Mason Jr. stood by the Grammy nominations in an interview with Billboard. When asked about The Weeknd not being nominated, he responded, “For The Weeknd, in every year you only have a certain amount of people you can nominate for each category,” he said.
The Weeknd’s snub is particularly surprising seeing how successful After Hours was upon its release. Just this week, the singer broke Post Malone’s previous record for the most time spent in the top 10 of Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, as “Blinding Lights” has appeared in that range for an impressive 40 weeks total. The feat arrived just after the singer had set the record for the most weeks spent in the top five spots of the Hot 100.

Remy Ma’s Onstage Moment Has Fans Speculating About Papoose and Claressa Shields Drama

Remy Ma is not one to shy away from what’s on her mind, and her recent performance was a testament to that. The Bronx rap legend joined forces with Trey Songz and Connie Diiamond for a high-energy performance of their “Ghetto & Ratchet (Remix)” on Thursday night. But it wasn’t only the high-energy delivery that was making mouths move in the crowd, it was one specific lyric that has the internet buzzing. Remy Ma says in the OG song, “Fk wantin’ ya na, I take him.” * But she added a little more bite to her latest performance, audaciously changing it up to, “If I want ya n**a, I’ll take him.” *
The energy instantly shifted in the room as soon as those words slipped from her lips, and fans were left wondering. Rumors and speculation about infidelity have surrounded it for months as the couple’s relationship came under public scrutiny. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, the tension has been impossible to miss. And now, with this lyric change, plenty of fans are convinced Remy Ma is doing just that. The reactions poured in on social media. Some fans were quick to read between the lines, interpreting the lyric as an obvious shot.
“Y’all know that was the line in that song right 👀,” wrote one user, while others directly questioned the intention of the performance. On the contrary, there are also some who couldn’t help but root her on, praising the confidence and fearlessness that Remy Ma displayed on stage. However, the biggest takeaway, perhaps, is that Remy Ma is still committed to her brash persona. Be it back through barb-laden lyrics or just the commanding way she runs a crowd, she knows how to seize a moment. Remy Ma ain’t losing her status as one of hip-hop’s wildest mouths.
