JAY-Z may be nominated in 8 categories at this Sunday?s Grammy Awards, but it appears he won?t be taking to the stage to perform.
Full story below?
Citing sources close to the situation, Hits Daily Double report that Jigga has elected not to perform at the 60th Annual Grammys.
It?s not immediately clear why, considering he seemed to be a shoe-in to grace the stage. Especially given his presence in major categories such as Album Of The Year (?4:44?), Record Of The Year (?The Story Of OJ?), and Song Of The Year (?4:44?).
Some are theorising that the decision has to do with the routine reality of Urban releases being heavily nominated but rarely winning in key categories. Which, viewed this way, would see Jay not allowing himself to be ?used? for TV ratings ? as some have argued to be the case for wife Beyonce.
Others, however, are putting it down to the Roc Nation mogul?s other Grammy related plans ? which notably includes being the honoree at the ?Grammy Salute To The Industry Icons? event the night before.
Speaking on that celebration, the President Of The Recording Academy Neil Portnow said in a statement:
Quote
?We are absolutely thrilled and delighted to honor JAY-Z with this year?s Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award. His contributions as an industry trail-blazer and music visionary only begin to touch on the tremendous impact he?s made both in entertainment and beyond.?
Whatever the case, this weekend is shaping up to be a major one for Mr. Carter!
Look at god
King is fed the fuck ahp.
Hit em where it hurts.
I think fas's loss last year might have been the last straw for him.
That is the FIRST time I'd ever seen a look of defeat on goddess's face.
The fact that this was a part of the era ALONE should have earned her every fucking WIN she was nominated for.

well alright then King
FIGHT THE POWER!
:letsmessfag:
I hope Bey follows suit.

This!!!!!!!!
What they need to be fighting for is that they televise more of the soul music and hip hop categories.
More than half of that shit we do NOT want to even see. The show is over 3 hours, right? They can definitely televise the mess
Let these people and new artists get the exposure and thank their labels and family on live television :uhh:
It?s not about having whites kiss their ass tho.
Why shouldn?t she and others strive for the top award in music?
:loose2when:

if im being honest. I kinda WISH the first time people got to see her again was at Coachella. But I will not complain because I do miss her.
So they?re going to sit in the audience?
Yea... I kinda just posted the pics.... :blink:

It's not about
not striving.
Did you not see the Formation vidya?
'fas EASILY released the best visual and musical experience I'd ever seen in my generation or even lifetime.
That alone was enough to send her home with AOTY. And, as boring as the album was to me :unsure:, it was damn near perfectly crafted and handed to the Grammy committee on a platter. She wanted that damn award.
And she had to look up to some White bitch giving her pity scraps of hers when it was all said and done. No shade to Adele because she's a sweet girl and she meant well. Also, very talented. But let's just call a spade a fucking spade. She's not on fas's level.
There's nothing wrong with striving to be @ the top of the game, but there is something wrong when every STRIDE has been put forth and heads are still turned the other way to those who are CLEARLY not as fucking deserving.
That was the FIRST time I'd ever seen a look of defeat on fas's face. If Jay-Z is not performing this year I definitely see why.
It's a slap in the face. Not only to 'fas and all the hard work she put in but to people of color everywhere. As much as I love to yank her that moment really saddened me. And even just revisiting it gets my blood boiling a bit. She deserved that award.

Just worry less about what the Carters do and more about Usher not winning any award in the last 6 years from any show.

so, more than those Mathew purchased Grammys
oh ok
Lol Y'all act like Beyonc? was done wrong just because she didn't win ONE award! One whole goal she had for herself that she didn't immediately accomplish...
Diana Ross has won zero Grammy's. Diana Ross!
It happens. That shouldn't even be a big thing. It just gives her something to keep working toward because everything doesn't come easy. If he were really boycotting the Grammy's because one award wasn't easily handed to his wife, that would be completely spoiled on their part. But I don't think that's the reason.
OMG
:guys:
I dont care Ray.
She's going to be there and thats kinda THAT. See ya Sunday

its not about Beyonc? herself being done wrong
it?s about Black artists never getting the top award at this cracker show
