Teyana Taylor Slams The GRAMMYs For All-Male Best R&B Album Nominees: ‘All I See Is D**k’

Just like every single year, the announcement of the nominations for The GRAMMYs this year caused a lot of folks–including both artists and fans–to question the awards show’s legitimacy.
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!”

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
