Snoop Dogg Takes a Swipe at Grammy Snubs on Instagram

 

The Grammy Awards took center stage over the weekend, sparking heated debates about which deserving artists were left empty-handed. Among the snubbed contenders, many believed that SZA’s groundbreaking album “SOS” should have snagged the Album of the Year, but it ultimately went to Taylor Swift’s “Midnights.” This sense of déjà vu echoed last year when Harry Styles clinched the award for “Harry’s House” over the widely acclaimed “Renaissance” by Beyoncé.

While some artists, like Miley Cyrus and Victoria Monet, celebrated their inaugural Grammy wins, discontent swirled around those perennially overlooked. In the pop realm, all eyes were on Lana Del Rey, whose critically praised album, “did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean blvd,” earned four nominations, including the standout track “A&W.” Despite the buzz, Lana found herself empty-handed, accumulating 11 nominations without a single win. Nicki Minaj faced a similar fate, losing both of her nominations, bringing her tally to 12 nominations and zero victories, despite a premature tweet from the Grammy’s account suggesting otherwise.

Joining the chorus of discontent is none other than rap legend Snoop Dogg. Surprisingly, despite his status as one of the genre’s most iconic figures, Snoop Dogg has never clinched a Grammy win. His first nod dates back to the 36th Grammys, where he contended for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group with the Dr. Dre collaboration “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang.”

Fast forward to 2024, and Snoop finds himself with a staggering 16 nominations and not a single win. While his most recent nomination technically stems from Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly,” his last personal nod for music came two years prior for “Reincarnated,” nominated for Best Reggae Album.

With Snoop Dogg openly criticizing the Grammys for this recurrent trend of nominations without wins, the question arises: Is the legendary rapper justified in his frustration? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
