2025 GRAMMYs Nominations: Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, Ice Spice, Doja Cat, & Nicki Minaj Fans Erupt After Rap Divas Are COMPLETELY Snubbed

Female rappers may have offered some of 2024’s most memorable contributions to music, but it appears the good folks over at the Recording Academy were none-too-impressed as the ladies were severely underrepresented across the 2025 GRAMMY nominations (as revealed on November 8).

GloRilla is unarguably the year’s biggest female Rap success story and even she was only able to nab two nods (Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song) – leaving her completely axed from general categories like Song or Record of the Year.

And while Cardi B, Latto and Doechii were at least mentioned (Best Rap Performance, Best Melodic Rap Performance, and Best New Artist respectively), big names like Megan Thee Stallion, Flo Milli, Nicki Minaj, Sexyy Red, Doja Cat, and Ice Spice were wholly omitted – a feat that sent their respective fan bases into melt downs on social media.

Minaj may have been largely inactive over 2024 due to her history-making tour, but hits like ‘Everybody‘ and ‘FTCU‘ (from 2022’s ‘Pink Friday 2‘) were released within the 2025 GRAMMY nominations’ eligibility window – as was her chart-topping Stallion diss ‘Big Foot.’

Speaking of Stallion, arguably the year’s most active female rapper, she delivered the Hot 100 chart-topper ‘Hiss‘ as well as multiple top 40 hits like ‘Neva Play,’ ‘BOA,’ and the viral ‘Mamushi‘ – all found on her latest hit album ‘Megan.’

Elsewhere, Milli, Cat, Spice, and Red all had notable wins over 2024 for their hits like ‘Never Lose Me,’ ‘Agora Hills,’ ‘Fart,’ and ‘Get It Sexyy’ respectively – yet, like Minaj and Stallion, none were recognized by the Academy for 2025.
