What—and we can’t stress this enough—the hell is going on with Drake?

The Canadian rapper seemed to be hella salty about his non-nominations at the 2024 Grammys as seen in a since-deleted Instagram Story post on Sunday, in which he said: “All you incredible artists remember this show isn’t the facts it’s just the opinion of a group of people who’s name are kept a secret (literally you can google it.) “Congrats to anybody winning anything for hip hop but this show doesn’t dictate s**t in our world.” - Shanelle Genai Read More

Jay-Z’s brutally honest speech at The 66th Annual Grammys on Sunday still has everyone talking. While accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, the hip-hop legend dropped several truth bombs on The Recording Academy. Calling them out for never awarding his wife, Beyoncé, the Album of the Year Grammy, even though she has 32 wins—the most in history—is the moment making all the headlines. - Stephanie Holland Read More
