Teyana Taylor slams Grammys for all-male Best R&B Album nominations list

Yesterday (24 November) the Grammys rolled out the 2021 nominations. For the first time ever the Best Rock Performance award is made up of female artists or female-fronted acts, but the Best R&B Album nominations failed to nominate one R&B album by a female or non-male artist.

Ant Clemons, Giveon, Luke James, John Legend and Gregory Porter have been nominated for the 2021 Best R&B Album Grammy Award.

Teyana Taylor, who released her incredible LP The Album in June, has taken to Twitter to vent her frustration at the 2021 Best R&B Album nominations. She wrote, "Y’all was better off just saying best MALE R&B ALBUM cause all I see is dick in this category."

One Twitter user responded to Taylor's Tweet, writing, "...meanwhile every singer nominated in the Best Rock Performance doesn’t have a [aubergine emoji], what’s your point?" Taylor responded, "My point is MY POINT. I said what da fuck I said. It shoulda been some WAP’s in tha R&B category. Instead it was filled with a bunch of [dick]’s, Now stay outta black women business."
