On Tuesday, following the nominations going public, a lot of artists had something to say; Nicki Minaj slammed The GRAMMYs for not nominating her back in 2012, while Wiz Khalifa pointed out the hypocrisy of all the musicians–like himself–who constantly point out the illegitimacy of the show while still waiting, hoping, and wishing for an award from the same people.
Another artist who took issue with the nominations was Teyana Taylor, who had a problem with the nominees in the Best R&B Album Category only being men.
“Y’all was better off just saying best MALE R&B ALBUM cause all I see is d**k in this category,” she tweeted.
When one fan replied, saying other categories–like Best Rock Performance–had only women nominated, Teyana simply told them to stay out of Black women’s business.
“My point is MY POINT. I said what da f**k I said,” Taylor replied. “It shoulda been some WAP’s in tha R&B category. Instead it was filled with a bunch of [eggplant]’s, Now stay outta black women business.”
She went on to amplify a fan’s tweet who said that the women of R&B “CARRIED this year,” simply writing, “Period.”
Justin Bieber was another artist who shared his disapproval of the academy too. Although the “Sorry” singer is nominated for the upcoming ceremony, the former teen idol was upset that some of his songs from his latest album Changes were being nominated under the Pop category. The Biebz says those cuts off the album were undeniably R&B tracks.
Justin took to his Instagram to share his disapproval with fans.
“Please don’t mistake this as me being ungrateful, these are just my thoughts take em or leave em. Thank you to the people who fought for me to even have any noms,” Bieber prefaced his Instagram message before explaining his issue with the academy.
“I am very meticulous and intentional about my music. With that being said I set out to make an R&B album. Changes was and is an R&B album,” he wrote. “It is not being acknowledged as an R&B album which is very strange to me. I grew up admiring R&B music and wished to make a project that would embody that sound. For this not to be put into that category feels weird considering from the chords to the melodies to the vocal style all the way down to the hip hop drums that were chosen it is undeniably, unmistakably an R&B album!”

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.
The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.
This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”
But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
