The Grammy nominations were released today. Nicki Minaj and Summer Walker are two artists that didn’t receive nominations, and folks have been sounding off about the two artists being snubbed.
Summer Walker even spoke on her album, Still Over It, not being nominated via her Instagram Story. Her debut album, Over It, wasn’t nominated either.
“As for the Grammys for a [second] time, the math is literally not mathing,” she wrote. “I was [going to] post some numbers but it’s ok, at least the streets [f***] with me. Y’all always pack out every show and support every time I drop so thanks for the love I do receive.”
Twitter was also pissed about the “Throw It Away” singer being snubbed.
“How in THEE F*** they choose to snub my b**** not once but TWICE,” one fan wrote. “Maybe somebody from the academy need to get they heart broke and slide down a wall a few times to understand why @IAMSUMMERWALKER deserves a damn Grammy. The math not mathin at all we are not havin it.”
Another fan pointed out that Still Over It broke records and should be recognized for it.
“They always do Summer Walker dirty man , Still Over It literally broke records on Billboard and Streaming for R&B!!!,” the tweet read.
According to MRC Data, Still Over It had the all-time best single-week streaming performance for any R&B album by a female artist, with over 200 million on-demand streams.
This‼️ Atp, the politics are outta control !! Aside from the INSANE numbers, #SummerWalker had one of the BEST albums of the entire year & not even a nomination. STOP telling artist 2 make better music cuz it ain’t even abt that!! #GRAMMYs It’s never about the quality!! https://t.co/3iAuYRJX41

the fact that Summer Walker & Nicki Minaj didn't get ONE nomination but "Artists" like Gayle, Glorilla, Latto do, shows that the #GRAMMYs is NOT about talent, it's about relationships.

okay rnb album categories is fucked. where is summer walker?!?! yebba?!? #GRAMMYs

I absolutely believe Summer Walker deserves a Grammy nomination and WE (🟤) know that. We know who runs the Grammys and she doesn’t have a big media presence in white spaces. She doesn’t even like being in the public eye in general so she’s overlooked. #GRAMMYs #summerwalker

Kinda disappointed that @IAMSUMMERWALKER didn’t get nominated for a Grammy. She is still validated, very much important & a huge contributor to todays R&B music. I feel the same about @NICKIMINAJ. Numbers don’t lie! B #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/Nr4PXloBPX

These award shows really pay Summer Walker dust like Over It & Over it Now should have both been nominated and won awards. Both are amazing albums & are still loved and talked about to this day! #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/mcD9oeI7HX

I do find it interesting how Summer Walker has gotten ZERO Grammy love considering what a monster she is on streaming. #GRAMMYs

I normally don’t like to engage in the “snubbed” conversations because I don’t want to take away from those who were nominated.
… but Summer Walker not being nominated at the #GRAMMYs for ‘Still Over it’ is INSANITY. pic.twitter.com/TRSaeDpmYn

Nicki Minaj Didn’t Get A Grammy Nomination Either And The Barbz Are Pissed
After raising hell over “Super Freaky Girl” being switched from rap to the pop category, Minaj ended up not getting nominated at all.
“The Grammys is having blogs post that Variety article to distract you from the fact that ‘SUPER FREAKY GIRL’ was unfairly moved from the rap category while other poppy rap songs remain in the RAP CATEGORY,” Minaj wrote in on Instagram in October.
She also dragged Latto into the chat and questioned what genre her song “Big Energy” fell under.
“Now, let’s say that ‘Super Freaky Girl’ is a pop song. Let’s just say that, right. What is ‘Big Energy?’ If ‘Super Freaky Girl’ is a pop song, what song is ‘Big Energy.’ What genre is ‘Big Energy?,’” Minaj tweeted.
“If you can’t tell by now that there is a concerted effort to give newer artists things that they really don’t deserve, over people who have been deserving for many years, then you’re not paying attention. And soon female rap will really not have any black women. If you pay attention, you’ll see, you’ll understand.”
Either way, the Barbz weren’t happy at all.
“The fraudulent #Grammys committee has once again snubbed Nicki Minaj from getting any award noms this year, oh well super freaky girl remain the only solo female rap song to debut #1 this CENTURY,” one person wrote.
One barb accused the Grammys of being rigged.
“Nicki Minaj didn’t get nominated for a Grammy! Y’all can’t tell me the Grammys aren’t rigged. She had the #1 song this year and IS AN ICON! Goes to show how the cooperate giants and machines going against her. Still the Goat tho!”
Take a look at what else Twitter had to say below.

Kanye peed on a Grammy but won the year after, Jay Z said Fuck the Grammy but won the year after,The Weeknd said fuck the Grammy and Won but Nicki should have kept Quiet?.

Nicki not being nominated at the #GRAMMYs for Super Freaky Girl is actually insane but proves the theory that the board is blocking her. Unless she didn’t submit, this tells.
— Hundun✨ (@HoneyGuwop) November 15, 2022
I love @NICKIMINAJ as a fan so much! She has done so much for the music industry and it pains me to see her get snubbed by these award shows. But at the end of the day she’s a Legend and the #GRAMMYs are not a measurable award for excellency and they’ve never been. #NickiMinaj
— wiltinsin (@wiltinsin) November 15, 2022
At this point, @NICKIMINAJ shouldn’t even submit because they are playing in her face. The Grammy board knew they were wrong so in order to put the situation to rest, they decided to not nominate her at all. It’s sickening. #GRAMMYs
— Kelsey (@AdoreMy_Essence) November 16, 2022
So they said they were putting the Queen’s #SuperFreakyGirl in the pop category purposely knowing she was going to speak up for herself and then not nominate her in any category? The #GRAMMYs used @NICKIMINAJ for clout. That’s how low they are. Smh.
— CELEBSLOVENICKIMINAJ (@celebslovenicki) November 15, 2022
We’re about to address the BLATANT DISRESPECT @NICKIMINAJ gets Year after Year by TheScammy’s!!!! It’s SAD!!!! & all the celebs should be standing UP FOR HER!!!! Whether you like her or NOT, You can’t tell me she hasn’t BEEN deserved her flowers!! #NickiMinaj #GRAMMYs
— TheVaultCutUp (@TheVaultCutUp) November 15, 2022
The #GRAMMYs are TRASH! no way In hell these cookie cutter rappers winning grammys before #NickiMinaj …like how? This isn’t karma…This is the industry flexing their power. Y’all forget that Nicki changed the game for how Artist get paid for streams. Nicki is a fucking ICON https://t.co/c7CrO9VVNZ
— Kitten Heel (@gotmy10z) November 16, 2022
I think there is a conversation to be had about the biggest female rapper ever consistently not getting a #GRAMMYs nomination, but the powers that be don’t want to hear it from Nicki or her fans. Somebody bigger has to lead the charge or the powers that be need to be changed
— CarbonClyve (@clyveSPEAKS) November 16, 2022
The #GRAMMYs clearly hate @NICKIMINAJ. i’m not a Barb but it’s blatant and obvious. #SuperFreakyGirl might not be your shit but that song hit #1 and then it’s still charting well. no noms. that’s wild. she finna go off. as she should.
