What do you think of the nominees?
This is a joke.. I get why my girl Bey is nominated for many of them Categories but at this point they reaching, nominating Isley Brothers ft Bey and Grace, and Church Girl.. like what kind of impact those two songs had.. They alway try to squeeze her in ever category they can.. I gotta say good team though. I love it
Just for her to not show up. 🤣
Make Me say it again is hot on the r&b charts
Burna Boy RNB ….? Ok since when i cant take this shows serious anymore
Chloe getting nominated.
Not 1 nomination for that ugly slàvè chìmp called normani. Hope her mama dìè of càncèr next year.
We love to see it
😂
She had a soul train award already though 🤷🏾♂️
Best dance performance . Lol
It wasnt solo
It wasnt for singing
😂
Normani got nominated and WON last year. At least Normani wins her nominations unlike Chloe. Chloe won’t win in any of the catergories shes in and you will have to deal with the fact that you cannot compete where you dont compare. Your racist self has to come up with the most racist things about Normani but the insults are lame and tired. I think an intervention is needed to get you the mental attention you desperately need
She won for dancing and it was thanks to cardi
Normani is an ugly cheap silver back gor1llà
Now what?
Her 12 stand from Twitter always patrolling everywhere instead of them to go stream her 10 minutes discography.
U literally stands a talentless rat with a 10 minute discography, isnt that mental illness?
Good luck on that annual single in 2023
And chloe is Grammy nominated and she will always eat normani the ugly gorìllà up. What are u gonna do about it? Cry? Complain? Write think pieces on Twitter? Blame Camila and beyonce for sabotage? Blame rca records?
😂
I really dont get these awards tbh. No shade but putting africans with beyonce and chris brown in the same category is BS. Not degrading africans but their music (rnb/soul) is quite different
African music is just hitting a drum with human or animal bones.
Ur fada,
Mary j can’t sit beside Beyoncé! Somebody should’ve put her at the doggy back seat
Happy to see Doechii in the noms. I hope she performs. I feel she most deservant of BNA, however, i think it will go to Tems.
Ghetto trash.
It really is though
Mary j got way more hits than Beyoncé . Since 1992 and remixes to kill Beyoncé. Beyoncé just got the crazy fanbase.Mary just need a mic on stage solo .Beyoncé need 100 people on stage with her . Mary got classic albums and hits .Beyoncé just got her name Beyoncé that make people go crazy. Mary music anyday. These nominations are a joke all together. Remember when we looked forward to the soulful train awards. Now it’s a joke don’t know most of the artist . Competition had you on the edge of your seats and performances had you hype. Now boring, smoke, fire, p*** dancers just whack.Tisha and Tichina made it good again
