2016 Grammy Awards: Kendrick Lamar Dominates & Omarion Gets Best … Twitter Rant Award
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.
“Post to be” is one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever. CB, Jhene, & myself been in the game 10+.

Even though people act like its easy to make a hit (& it’s not). As an artist you look forward to being acknowledged by the game.

The odds have always been against me. I constantly prove you wrong. I’ll consistently do great things & you will have to celebrate me.

This isn’t a “im upset” (post to be) rant. This is a- ok so that wasn’t good enough. I’ll be back. Have my Grammy’s ready.

The game has long changed since I was introduced to it. They want to still treat me like I’m a new to this. My moment is coming trust.

So when it’s all said & done. Remember. I prophesied it. It’s my destiny. I was destined. Chosen.
