Early this morning, the first batch of nominations for the 58th Annual Grammy Awards were announced on CBS This Morning. Artists such as Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd, and Taylor Swift were among the top nominees, as all three earned Album of the Year noms. Lamar earned a Song of the Year nod to his single “Alright.â€
But one pop star, whose claim to fame is boy band B2K and more recently “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood,” and who did not make the list has been trending in relation to the Grammy announcements: Omarion. He’s taken to Twitter to voice his thoughts on why he believes he should have been nominated for a Grammy for Billboard hit “Post to Be,” featuring Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko.
Airing on CBS on February 15th, from 8-11:30 p.m., the 2016 Grammy Awards will feature many musicians of color who have been up to win. Fifteen-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys revealed the musicians in the four General Field categories, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. Fifteen minutes after, all 83 categories were released via a press release and made available online.
