After the conclusion of the 59th annual Grammy Awards Rihanna‘s faithful fan group, The Navy, is in absolute uproar. Rightfully so, if you ask us, as the Bajan beauty’s critically acclaimed set, ‘Anti,’ entered the race with a whopping 8 nominations. Not only that, the album and/or its content were believed to be clear frontrunners in at least half of those categories.
Sadly, by the night’s end, that’s all the opus remained: nominated. That’s right, despite birthing one of 2016’s biggest hits, ‘Work,’ breaking streaming records, and even yielding some of the singer’s most artistically mature offerings to date, the album was completely snubbed.
Leave it to Rih though to even fail in style. See what we mean inside:
Rihanna, nominated for the 8 awards listed above and Best Rap Song for ‘Famous’ with Kanye West, walked away from tonight’s showing completely empty handed. The upset places her in history books as the female artist with the most nominations and no win for a single Grammy event. A record previously held by India Arie for her seven time nominated ‘Acoustic Soul’ which earned no golden gramophones in 2002, the most famous incident of this was when Mariah Carey‘s ‘Daydream’ era earned 6 nominations but went home without a single one.
Similarly, Kanye West‘s ‘Life of Pablo’ was also nominated for 8 awards. Leaving empty-handed, he now holds the record most-nominated rapper with no wins in a single night. The overall recordholder is their ‘FourFiveSeconds‘ co-star/Beatles legend Paul McCartney, who lost in 9 categories in 1966.
Your thoughts?
MESS!!!
While the Navy happy Bey lost AOTY, I’m giggling because Rihanna didn’t get the nomination to begin with. On a positive not she did deserve to win something but, I did enjoy seeing her loose Best Contempary R&B to Beyonce though. Maybe next time she can have her “Ray Of Light” moment
You sound dumb the grammy’s did dirty for black Artists they use beyonce to perform and they give Urban of the year and video of the year that’s disrespectable for Big Artist like beyonce to lose Adele album was 2015 and she should not win this big it’s well known when black Artist against white always they lose and i hope beyonce stop kissing white grammys’ #facts
Leave This Site And Find A Job B*tch Everytime I Take A Break I Must See Your Dumb A** In The Top Comments For Every Post. B*tch Is You Lonely? I Bet Nobody In Your Real Life Claims You That Is Why You Live On This Site. Absolute Kii
Stupid bum illiterate b****! Maybe if you weren’t so caught up in your stan war’s arguments you’d realize I wasn’t shading her. It was an absolute mess seeing her and Beyoncé be snubbed left and right for awards they clearly deserved! We all know you stay posting on this blog under 9363226238 accounts. FYI i rarely even come to TGJ so get the fückk outta my replies.
Beyoncé has 22 Grammys, I’m done with them. Bey doesn’t need another award. This will probably be her best work she has ever done so I don’t see her winning an AOTY ever.
.
Anyway, I’m going to need Bey n Rih to release a song together that is worthy of ROTY and SOTY only to boycott the Grammys and not accept their awards in person to let their ratings plummet! ?
you right Beyonce should win AOTY and Rihanna should win Record of the year for work yes Beyonce give the best perform of the night and what they give is disrespectable big Artist like Beyonce and this ugly fat Adele all she got is HELLO song is old 2015 and win big tonight is biased on her skin color #fuckthegrammys all they want black Artist against each other that’s all they can win is pathetic and i hope Rihanna and beyonce work together and tour together the Globe.
I’m screaming!!!! ????
Now I’m not the biggest Rihanna fan but Anti is her best album yet. She deserved something at least in the R&B category. But she did look great tonight.
I agree totally. The Grammy’s just like that watered down stuff. Hotline bling but no work awards.
She got all dressed up just to sit and watch everybody else win awards Whomp Whomp ?
Now she feels Ciara’s pain.
But one has talent to rely on
????
Stop the pullshit Beyonce she give them best performance and deserved AOTY,ROTY,SOTY and she walked out knowing she can not beat white Artist like garbage Adele this is shame big Artist like beyonce all they give is basic awards Urban album and video of the year she could stay home and still win like drake. Rihanna they don’t even nominated AOTY and she knows the reason she did wrong for last year for pulling the last minute all she was doing give good look. #fuckgrammys
The eligibility period of this years grammys was oct 1 2015 to sept 30 2016 so Adele has a right to get nominated and or win in the categories she was nominated in . Just the same as Beyoncé would have
DELETE THIS.
I know like all jokes aside. It’s so tacky. And I also think it’s f up that they gave Beyoncé the urban awards just so they can say they gave her something and the. Gave Adele all the big awards. I don’t like Beyoncés music but she deserved a major category win. They always have her the crap awards
That’s normally why they submit Rihanna to the soul categories
I’m glad Lalah won
If it wasn’t her it should’ve been fantasia
I love Rih Rih, but this look is a mess!!
Yeah and she always surpass Elvis for the most successful artist in history but I don’t see y’all writing that post.
That’s because it’s FAKE NEWS
Since whendid she sell 1 billion records?
RIDICULOUS.
.
Rihanna, India Arie and Mariah Carey.
.
I just can’t…
Janet has been snubbed too
This is so uncalled for but I’m actually laughing. I do love Rih though. #Just for then bants.
I hope all these artist boycot the Grammys. This is amess
PREACH ❤️
Y’all are so annoying
Beyoncé won two Awards that’s not a snub just cuz she didn’t win everything
Rihanna needs to write some of her own music that’s actually about something other than sia and ester deans life experiences and work on her live singing and dancing and stop being cocky
This was a humbling lesson
Lmfao write her own music wait Beyonce doesn’t write her own music and look how many people write for Beyonce ????
This
This shady post is comment bait ✌?✌?✌?✌?✌?
Oh My God!!! Hold up let me get my popcorn ready! I come here to see the stans going at it y’all please give me LIFE ctfuuuu and don’t forget to drag Lady Gaga’s irrelevant performance I’m still wondering “why did she feel the need to do it”
*grabs popcorn* *keeps refreshing the page*
Rihanna doesn’t needs an award chosen by a panel of white old men whose opinion is persuaded by dollars. She achievements speaks volumes and her name is amoung dead legends. Men lie, women lie but numbers don’t lie. Keep killing it baby!
She doesn’t need it now that she didn’t win it
But she needed it when y’all put her up against talented artists because that’s when it matters right ??
But…You were one of the ones saying she was going to be nominated for AOTY, then it didn’t matter because she wasn’t nominated, now it doesn’t matter because of the race of the committee…And most, damn near 75% of her “achievements” are based on singles and streams making her the most undeserving of any achievement. Numbers don’t lie and they constantly prove Rihanna ain’t the s*** the Navy claims she is. Be glad she got nominated and go to bed.
F u bish
Ouch!!!!??
What the Grammy did to rihanna it’s an absolute insult….you can’t just nominate an artist for so many categories and have them attend get a sit in the front row and not give the atlease 1 award.
They can, and they did.
Stfu you hateful scumbag why nominate people with so many nomination and let them win nothing screw the grammies that is why kanye see them for the s*** they are mark my words rih will pay them dust from now on rih has 8 and Mariah 2 maybe Mariah was not white enough to win many grammies those people seem racist they need to change the voting system they new what they was doing by locking rih out album of,the year giving bey contemporary as a consulation prize and give Adele arty these white devil is something else
Kiiiii
Petty ?
I honestly don’t think this is a petty post though. Many outlets are currently reporting the same news – including the daily mail. It happens. Its a shame nonetheless.
Suck up the shame. I see you gurl lol
I agree that she was snubbed, I’m just saying that TGJ is petty for this article.
But when even the Daily Mail is saying the Grammys messed up…whew.
So…she is still wildly successful and her album stays on repeat. I’m sure it was a bit of a blow because we are all naturally competitive but she will be okay..
BUT THE GAG IS….
Her music is still charting in the top 15 over a year later☕
A f****** mess‼️ Don’t wanna see Bey &Rih at that show ever again!
Exactly. They all need to start boycotting. They did both Beyoncé and Rihanna wrong. I’m so hurt. They use them to views and then give the boring artist all the awards
Rihanna didn’t deserve anything. And if she won you’d be dissing beyonce right now fake b****.
Waiting for the post that says lemonade won AOTY or Bet took all nine home… No?
Instead of writing silly s*** like this, talk about how they nominated the most black artist’s and most of them lose to the basic white artist…
They snubbed both Rihanna and Beyonce its f****** disgusting. They released their best albums and this is what they got. Sad af
I dont trust the grammys anymore
I stopped trustin them since they snubbed MC durin Daydream era…. She stopped attending till “We belong together ‘ where she performed ( best of the night) and took of 3 trophies…
Disrespectful to say the least. Looks like this will be the last time she attends this award show.
And this ladies and gentlemen is why im glad Beyonce lost all the major categories because her fans just wanted to shame Rihanna like this.
This headline could have read Kanye West makes history but you chose to go after Rihanna as usual!
This blog is soooooo transparent!
Beyonce didn’t write this post. Put your hate aside and see the bigger picture.
It’s bigger than her. It is astonishing that she and beyonce and solange put out probably three of the best albums and collectively leave with 3 awards?? I mean white privilege at its finest in my opinion. Rih def deserved to win something and beyonce def deserves AOTY and solange needed to be nominated for more in general. I truly don’t think they value diversity and this was there was of showing that.
Some artists like Diana Ross biggie and Tupac and Aaliyah never won Grammys
One seconds you all speak as being pro black but once Rih name pop up ya ll turn ur back.. Stan wars is the worse I said it… She looks unbothered, she still has some of the trophies she could polish
Adele won ROTY,SOTY and AOTY twice I’m just over it she won all her awards. I love Adele b*** this is disgusting
Bloop
Anyways I knew Bey was losing but y’all downvoted me for filth in the live post.
White privilege strikes again. And not only white privilege but mediocre white male privilege in the case of 21 Pilots winning.
I can’t even blame Adele the Grammy committee need an update these old white f**** gotta go. I’m grateful that Bey has 20 Grammys but they don’t mind giving her R&B categories but they never give her main categories I’m mad as hell…… Like can y’all believe Kiss It better lost and Work didn’t win Anything disgusting
They’re both meaningless songs hello is much better than those two.
Hmmm…. Anti is a really good album from start to finish. So versatile and cross over…. …… …. I know for a fact a couple of those categories, she should have certainly beat out and won…. smh…. I don’t get it.. ……
Well. Most of her wins do come from her being a guest on someone else’s track. The only song she had for that this time was Famous and that stood no chance at winning anything. And it was no surprise that Beyoncé would take Urban Contemporary. I knew she wasn’t getting ROTY over the competition. The only category I thought she was going to win for sure was best pop/duo because that’s her bread and butter. Nothing else came as a surprise. And Hotline Bling is garbage. It shouldn’t have walked away with one Grammy let alone 2.
Mariah Carey getting snubbed in 1996 was crazy. She lost all her Grammy’s to a real emo type white chick. Kinda like how Bey lost all hers to a white lady tonight. Sad, because Daydream was Mariah at her absolute best. She wrote, produced and sang a great R&B fused Pop album. And lost all her awards. One Sweet Day was the song and record of the year, technically. Anyways, I’m glad Emancipation won 3 (all in the R&B section tho). I just hate Mariah won most of her Grammy’s when she was out of her prime. I feel as tho an artist should be more so celebrated and awarded when they’re at their absolute best. Bey still has 22 awards tho. So, she slays. And Adele said she was her idol and deserved that AOTY award. Adele is so f****** real. She stans Mariah and Bey. I love that
Bey deserved every category she was nominated in while tbh Rih deserved at least one. Tragic that the Linkin Park of 2017 won more awards than the latter tonight.
I wish they both stop attending this tires ass mess show.. They know they the biggest black artist they givvem nominations just for views… Really “Hello” was cute bt ROY ans SOY?? .. Yes to them boycotting
i’m sure she coulda bagged one for work. i guess it wasn’t grammy enough. mmmh. whatever.
They did Rihanna TOTALLY wrong tonight.
They did the pompous b**** right.
Also why are you all surprised that Adele won the top categories, I mean “Hello”..the committee was full of nasty ass halitosis breath white men. So I knew this was going to be the outcome.
Oh, and as for Rihanna… Listen, I love her. She’s a great pop star and a very stylish beautiful woman. But talent wise, she doesn’t even deserve 5 Grammy’s let alone the 7 or 8 she has. I mean, Rih is not a great singer or songwriter or producer or even performer. She has a great ear for picking OUT hits, has an extremely addictive pop Caribbean tone that fits like a glove but that’s it. I wouldn’t consider Rih a musical genius or performing genius in no way shape or form. And she’s in her prime.
—-
Whitney was a vocal genius and a great performer.
Mariah was a lyric genius, great melody composer and TECHNICAL vocalist.
Bey is a vocal genius (very underrated) and a performing genius. No one in this generation (and many from the past) can see Beyonka on that stage, period.
—-
No shade but I don’t see what Rihanna dominates TALENT wise. Like, what has she mastered???
What has taylor swift mastered that garnered all her grammy wins????
Nothing. Taylor deserves no Grammys. If she’s mastered anything, it’s the art of being a skinny straight white American girl who has convinced all of the other skinny straight white American girls like her that she makes anything more than organized noise. But your comment doesn’t necessarily add to or take away from anything that was said.
She mastered instruments and can write appealing pop records for her target demographic.
The charts!
Listen here you dumb piece of f***. This women had been working since 16 and crafted amazing albums and you are bot gonna discredit her success. Don’t ever disrespect her or I will personally come and ring your neck. You disgusting vile piece of filth. Delete your account!!!
Ciara
On another note smh LOL …. …………. tgj is not right for even making this information a “thing” or “news”. If they’re going to do that, then it’s plenty of artist who has had FULL careers and still no Grammy. This is only one night of plenty more Grammy to come in the future for her probably.
Lemonade had a good 20 POINTS over 25 on Metacritic and she still lost. To make matters even worse, Adele’ s vocals were pitchy tonight. I can’t!
Her wardrobe slayed tho
Miss Rih was snatched tonight chile lol
She looked awful lmao I’m happy she lost
Million dollar checks> million awards
I continue to laugh, Everyone knows Ester Dean writes all of Ri-Whine-A yodeling..✌??
Kinda dissapointed. But again, they lost to Adele. I just love how humble Adele is. I would rather Adele sweeped everything than Taylor winning.
That’s the only saving grace. It could be worse. If it was Basic Swift I would raise hell. I would take Adele over Taylor but out of almost every one else nominated, even those who weren’t nominated in the AOTY category, 25 was one of the most undeserving albums to win on the roster. I would have rather had anyone else win. Except Drake… not him. I was binge watching an old season of project runway the other day. And there were designers making basic, well constructed, outfits, something simple like a crop top and a skirt, in a sold color. And they were saved. And the designers who were making things that pushed the envelope and maybe made executional errors here and there were being sent home. That is the most retarded thing to me. And I then remembered why I don’t watch stuff like that anymore. Why are the people who are playing it safe and making uninspired creations being rewarded and the artists that are taking the risks being sent home?? It makes no sense.
B**** I didn’t see hell raising when she won her 2nd AOTY
Yeah. But hey, atleast it’s not Drake or JB! Sia totally deserved Best Pop Vocal so much, but they gave to Adele instead. 🙁
No Adele’s album was all hype Beyonce’s fans should start boycotting the Grammys.
LMFAO, I can’t….
I never believed in white privilege thing, but both Adele and David Bowie won 5 awards, I understands Adele, but David…? I heard he only won 1 while he was still alive.
If thats the case Aaliyah should have snagged one for rock the boat!
Looks like the features didn’t do s*** for her this time around
Rihanna was snubbed and hated on,f*** you lame ass site,f*** be yawnce fake pregnant belly pad wearing ass,kiss Rihanna ass,she still Queen,f*** that bribed rigged up Grammy, eat a d***,ol sissy site and stanking breath beyawnce ass lickers
Rihanna, Sia, Ariana, and Beyonce got snubbed. Sure, Beyonce won the urban categories but nothing in the main ones? I’m not trying to hate on Adele but 25 is her weakest effort to date. Did not deserve to sweep like that. The critics are so fixated with her it’s honestly annoying and predictable. They need to take off their stan glasses and realize there were better releases that year.
Finally Rihanna was put in her rightful place. I am so happy she’s an overrated s****. Anti is overrated trash!!!
Yall should know the Grammy academy get scared of many black people women in one night, not only that it should not surprise no one about AOTY, because mostly white artist win that award and it’s sad! They feel that if they give you a urban Grammy award, your not white enough to win a prestigious award such as album of the year! That’s just how I see it! It’s not right but they do it anyway. Bey should have won that! That’s the truth! Goodnight
Work was the best and most influential single of 2016, even Ed Sheehan is releasing basement rhythm tunes now as Work bought it back and started a trend, Anti is one of Rih’s best albums also, anyway she’s proved she’s a great artist she’s been doing so since Umbrella, keep moving forward Rih and she looked outstanding!
The Grammys did Black artists dirty tonight. It’s not a Beyonce vs. Rihanna things anymore. They just used Black artists for ratings, to make their show pop and sent them home with token wins or nothing at all.
I bet next time these black artist will learn to bypass this bs.
Honestly, this just isn’t cool! ‘Lemonade’ and ‘Work’ deserved so much more! Both were undeniable no matter how you feel about Beyonce and Rihanna!
This is crazy… I can’t believe Rihanna was snubbed this badly. She should of atleast took 2 home. Clearly all these black artists were nominated yet snubbed of all major categories and left to fend for Rnb and Urban. Beyoncé performance was good for what it was and rihanna slated every single last artist on that runway!
Took 2 home for what tho? Rihanna lost to more superior work in every single category.
Ok, take away the visuals and only consider the music. Can anyone honestly say that based on the music alone, Beyonce deserved Album of the Year for Lemonade??? This was her weakest album to date. Now the BEYONCE album was AOTY worthy in my opinion.
I’m sorry, the opinion of someone who loves sexual predators, is irrelevant. BTW, don’t you have a has been singer Subway concert to attend?
Based on the music alone, Beyonce deserved album of the year for Lemonade.
Rihanna wasn’t snubbed. This era may have been strong for her music, but it definitely wasn’t better than any of the artists she lost to. For the first time in a long time, the Grammys got it right in almost every single category.
that’s crazy, i think this grammy stuff is turning people against each other, and i don’t like it.
Y’all can say what y’all wanna say, but Adele earned every award she received. The album did 2 million in its first week of release. The album went Diamond. Those two facts alone makes it right! She deserved SOTY and ROTY as well. She released a song that was timely and relatable to EVERYONE (Black, white, man, woman, adults, and children). Don’t get upset because Bee didn’t win. Formation was a bunch of noise. It was a cultural video, but all due respect, it was noise. It received what it was worth–for it’s cinematography. Y’all need to lighten up, and just understand you win some, you lose some. Also, to the person who said Adele’s album was 2015, it was released after the cut-off period. Know your facts!
Your logic promotes the idea that popularity alone constitutes a win. That is exactly why the Academy for Actors is always given more prestige than music. If sales alone are the only thing that justifies Adele’s win then she did not deserve it. We all know that 25 was not the most exceptional effort released in the last year. Not by a long shot. And If what you’re saying is the case, then Beyonce should’ve won for self titled, every artist with the most sales should be walking away with the win regardless of the artistic contributions of their competitors, and therefore the Grammys shouldn’t even bother with an AOTY category at all. The winner would already be obvious. Formation is one song and no one predicted that she would win Record or Song of the Year. I feel Hello deserved at least one of them. It’s not about Beyoncé taking home any and every award. No one is arguing for her to win things she shouldn’t. But she did deserve AOTY over Adele’s lazy and uninspired album.
Not a Rihanna fan, but I don’t find this funny at all. Rihanna was snubbed and I wish the Navy and Hive would take a break from the stan wars to see what’s really going on. Stop supporting the Grammys! They have been doing black artists wrong for a very long time! I wish black artists would stop showing up and show more support to black awards shows!
Gag
I don’t know how the voting for the awards works but clearly something needs to changed. It’s not fair actually. The success and impact of the music should have to factor in to how winners are selected. I don’t ride hard for Beyonce much anymore but the way they used her was just disgusting. I’m so glad Bieber and Drake boycotted these shenanigans and I wish Rihanna followed suit. It’s a mess. Purpose was huge, Views was major, Anti received so much acclaim, Rihanna’s best work, and Lemonade was monumental. I’m sorry and I listened to and liked 25 but it was a snoozefest. I think the votes should be cast by the consumers not the industry it’s so biased. The a**-kissing is ridiculous.
Good. She doesn´t deserve any type of accolade. She doesn´t songwrite and she cannot sing. Not especially good at least. That outfit was hideous too btw (one of the few things she usually gets right).
Azealia Banks done put that chicken voodoo on this ho…..
First of all bey got a vma at the Grammys and was force fed the urban contemporary because they knew Adele would take it. They had to push her and give her the light to further utilize her pregnancy and more for views! She was still robbed! Both her and Rih! Yeah she took home to Grammys. But out of o for an album you guys pressed so hard for. Anti is still well and alive on the charts. I’m not seeing bey up there with none of her music. So idk why you guys are trying to shade Rih. Regardless she was good! I’m sure all these artist are aware what awards they will be given. The fact Rih came and turnt up and remained humble speaks volunes. She even had a friendly moment with bey through blow kisses. The dues is stupid. Stop retrying so hard to keep this fire of bey versus Rih alive because neither will miss a meal tomorrow with or without gold plated plastic.
Cute outfit on Robyn rihanna fenty
