        Hunnie chile fool, I went ALL THE WAY in school…you do know what that means, right? ? ???

  3. These trolls are tired December 7, 2018

    where is Nicki?

  4. gina December 7, 2018

    Yay! Xtina got 2 Grammy nominations!

  5. Ughhh December 7, 2018

    There is a Grammy deadline. Nicki Minaj did not release her album within that deadline to be nominated this year. Her album would be in the running in 2020. As for singles, there is no explanation

    • Fancy BISH December 7, 2018

      Chile, the Grammy deadline was October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018…Nicki released Queen on August 10, 2018…she just wasn’t nominated hunnie ?

      • The Empress December 7, 2018

        lol…the delusional HOnika stans are losing their SHIIIT…literally.

      • Anyway December 7, 2018

        Fancy Bish! ????

    • Whoops ?????‍♀️ December 7, 2018

      Lol stop. Astroworld and Sweetener are nominated. And Sweetener came out after Queen. Queen just didn’t make the cut.

    • Caleb December 7, 2018

      The deadline cutoff is in September and her album was released in August. Sweetener came out afterward and was still nominated.

  6. Milan baby December 7, 2018

    So mad nicki was nominated for a grammy. Queen was stellar

    • Don’t Care December 7, 2018

      To bad??? I like Nicki but lets face it her time up. She had 10 in the spotlight and if she did not get any during that time she aint getting. Today its Cardi B tomorrow it will be the next chick Nicki needs to take a break work on new material and come again.

      • Don’t Care December 7, 2018

        Years^^

  7. AnonymousTruth December 7, 2018

    Oh Nicki – Snubbed AF

    As for Cardi…
    I think she may actually win one ?
    Glad the The Carters have picked up a couple noms . Will be interesting to see the winners !

  8. The Empress December 7, 2018

    Cardi will win two awards. Who wants to bet?

    • SMH December 7, 2018

      If she does, it will be in the rap categories. She’s not taking any of the major ones, i’ll bet on that.

      • Blaaah December 7, 2018

        People of Color barely win the major ones period. Stop being reductive, you come off like a whole Bigoted Becky. ??‍♀️?

      • Tetris! December 7, 2018

        No way boos!
        Gaga And Drake will win the main categories.
        Cardi is just overhyped right now she’s may win some of the rap ones…

      • SMH December 7, 2018

        @ Blaaah you mean like when Lauryn Hill, Outkast & Kendrick Lamar all won album of The Year? Stop being an idiot just because you learned a new word (but not how to properly use it in a sentence lol), you come off as a whole….idiot.

      • Blaaah December 7, 2018

        Stay mad and reply me like I told your ass too reductive non-melanated culture vulture. Cardi broke Queen Lauryn Hill’s record. Stop being reductive. Cardi is global and a house hold name. It’s been a while since a female rap artist of color snatched noms in the major Grammy categories. Not even St Nick got one. That’s why your highkey pressed with rosacea. ?

  9. SMH December 7, 2018

    Major congrats to Toni Braxton & Xtina on their multiple nominations. #RealMusicStillMatters

    • DanYiel December 7, 2018

      My thoughts exactly!! I love Toni Braxton tones and X-Tina always have me life with her soprano vocals!!?

      • Jasmine Da Bi Asian iBully TROLLmine Rasuptia (hermaphrodite) on the daily December 7, 2018

        Danyiel xtina is NOT a soprano ????????????????? she’s an alto

    • Bam December 7, 2018

      Yes! I was ready to go in cause I just knew they would ignore Toni but for her to get all those noms is amazing. If the Carters win over Toni I will be pissed.

  10. Beystansince1997 December 7, 2018

    Jay-z “Tell the Grammys F**K that 0 for 8 s**t

    Grammys: Ok…. Well we will only give y’all 2 nominations and probably won’t win!

    Times have definitely changed as Beyoncé, Jay-s, Kanye, Nicki, and Taylor all barley got nominated or no nominations at all (Nicki)

    • pat December 7, 2018

      this grammys is definitley putting a stamp on the new school…. and it’s about time
      glad to see H.E.R get recognition

    • Fancy BISH December 7, 2018

      Well, in Nicki’s case the times HAVEN’T changed ?

      • Jonny5 December 7, 2018

        SHAAAAADE

  11. Milan baby December 7, 2018

    Congratulations janet Jackson for best Latin and international recording

    • SMH December 7, 2018

      Congrats Jan!

  12. Queen Missy ?? December 7, 2018

    ?????. ??‍♂️ ??????

    Come here bish….

    All those “entries” on billboard and the tooted and booted hoeee couldn’t even get a nod.

    • Fancy BISH December 7, 2018

      Lmaoooo ?

  13. Ajm265 December 7, 2018

    It gets worst every year or maybe I’m getting really old and I’m in my 20s :-0

    • SMH December 7, 2018

      Its not you, its the music industry in general, its gets more pathetic as time goes on.

    • Bam December 7, 2018

      This is actually a good year lol. Real music like Toni, K

  14. Highbrowthis December 7, 2018

    No j com

  15. Highbrowthis December 7, 2018

    No J Cole KIDS ON DRUGS?

  16. kai2dasuan December 7, 2018

    J Cole was nominated for 1 Best Rap/Sung Performance. I also believe that Cardi will win at least 2 awards. I mean the best rap album is going to her hands down.

    • Jonny5 December 7, 2018

      J Cole is nominated for two awards one with Miguel and one with 6LACK

      • kai2dasuan December 7, 2018

        Yup you are so right. Idk why the Grammy website having updated the correct nominations.

  17. Wwwwwchild ldngurl December 7, 2018

    Why are afrobeats artists not properly represented when their music is takjng over the clubs????
    Thats an area of inclusion the grammys need to work on or give them their own grammys like the latin grammys!!!

  18. Realtalk December 7, 2018

    I watch the Grammys every year but this time won’t even tune in. After last year the snub against Jay z and the year prior how they did Beyoncé because I care less what anyone thinks, I’m with what Adele spoke out and said what the ***k Beyoncé has to do when in fact Lemonade was her best body of work and the Grammy snub her to the upmost, Beyoncé deserve to have got AOTY and SOTY I’m done with the Grammys

    • DanYiel December 7, 2018

      I agree with this message! ☝?

    • Malik December 7, 2018

      Lemonade was her WORST album, you cant be serious…

      She got robbed with B’Day which was her BEST… but Lemonade didnt deserve s***.

    • Jasmine Da Bi Asian iBully TROLLmine Rasuptia (hermaphrodite) on the daily December 7, 2018

      Lemonade was weak. Sorry I love beyonce but nobody is talking about any music on lemonade. The live performances and videos slay but the music is garbage

      • ThatMessJuice.Flop December 7, 2018

        True…she focused too much on dragging Jay z that she forgot to make good music. Lemonade wasn’t a good album

    • thanosoftitans December 7, 2018

      Lemonade is by far Beyonce’s weakest body of work. Beyonce was an awesome album…Lemonade fell way short and was a sub par follow-up.

    • Bam December 7, 2018

      “Boo hoo they didn’t bow to my queen so I’m not gonna watch.”

    • CuteTie December 8, 2018

      Beyawnce has tried sacrifice of fetuses of the carter’s perceived biggest competition or rival and stole their work for lemonade. ..still didn’t work so I guess that answers adele’s questions…
      The carters are free to vomit s****** and kill their OWN kids..see if that will do it?
      Jk,nk

      • CuteTie December 8, 2018

        Beyawnce/the carters have tried the sacrifice of fetuses of the carter’s perceived biggest competition or rivals and stole their competitor’s work for lemonade. ..all that & it still didn’t work ..so I guess that answers adele’s questions…
        The carters are free to commit s****** and kill their OWN kids..see if that will do it?

  19. Jasmine Da Bi Asian iBully TROLLmine Rasuptia (hermaphrodite) on the daily December 7, 2018

    HER needs to win every single category she’s in. By far she is the most talented musician/vocalist/live performer on this list. She can play a multitude of instruments, she can sing her faaaace off (live) and she writes all her own music. She’d better be getting her just due

  20. Jasmine Da Bi Asian iBully TROLLmine Rasuptia (hermaphrodite) on the daily December 7, 2018

    Nicki you keep giving us the same music, the same bars, the same lil Kim wannabe looks and the same ol same. Of course you’re not getting nominated… you were already nominated with the same material and LOST. Bye! ???

  21. Sam December 7, 2018

    Why the f*** isn’t queen nominated better than every artist. The carters were nominated????!! Why not Queen!

  22. Aretha Franklin December 7, 2018

    The Grammys to Nicki: “mmm OK, I’m gonna pass on that one.”

  23. Bam December 7, 2018

    If Camilla or Taylor win over Kelly for vocals…

    • Kara December 7, 2018

      Then you know the grammies gone to the dogs….

  24. #TeamTinashe Stan (New Nashe Music Coming Soon ?) December 7, 2018

    Tinashe “Aquarius” deserved a NOM when it came out but I’m definitely here for ignoring the work of “Joyride” not her best work to date.
    Next album though..

    Where is Nicki?

    • Geri December 7, 2018

      Tin who?

  25. KB December 7, 2018

    I think Cardi has a good chance at all the rap categories and even RECORD OF THE YEAR. They’re definitely going to acknowledge her. Well deserved Bardi. WELL DESERVED.

  26. CuteTie December 8, 2018

    Let all the white , unheard of singers win. All the blacj, urban or urban related acts (i.e. peoducers, artists ties to urban rNb acts etc ) are a part of the fraud machine that’s been feeding the big 3’s top black acts.

    • CuteTie December 8, 2018

      Typo corrrection:
      Let all the white , unheard of singers win. All the black, urban or urban related acts (i.e. producers, artists tied to urban rNb acts, etc ) are a part of the fraud machine that’s been feeding the big 3’s top black acts.

      Let the GRAMMY’S get BACK to their ROOTS, since opening all these urban categories resulted in the MOST DEPRAVED, DESPICABLE, LUDICROUS behavior being ENCOURAGED just to win a fu***g trophy. Don’t call it racism, call it reality.

      The grammy’s opened black/urban/rap categories and now you have black/urban/rap singers and rappers engaging in sexual assault, feticide, homicide and various burglaries/vandalism and intellectual property thefts to get “noticed” by the academy.
      The consumers don’t need the lowlife’so to have MORE inspiration to further denigrate the society..they are doing a decent enough job of that just by dropping out of school and procreating
