Entitlement ? SZA had a huge year and definitely deserved the nomination over Doja Cat (who I love btw) and Nicki - both of who don't even have albums out yet

wait... just looked up the list of nominees and she wasn't nominated while Doja, Nicki and Shakira were when they haven't released an album in a while, I thought they're referring to her not winning, and not a nomination to begin with... wtf :toofunny2:

She’s above the glorified Kids Choice Awards so yes this was a good call.

as she should, she easily had the biggest album of the year but somehow she was snubbed in favor of Nicki:celestial5:

She should've been the second person nominated for AOTY after Taylor. SOS was HUGE and definitely the biggest album after Midnights. Luckily nobody even cares about the VMAs so

Morgan Wallen album was much bigger and he didn't get any nom.

1. Her manager is horrible and this was a bad call.

2. She should have gotten the nomination though. 

I'm conflicted. I mean, if it's meaningless than it doesn't matter if she had pulled out or stayed.

 

Is still going giving the show credit it doesn't deserve because it no longer has cultural cache or pull (let alone meaningful viewership)?

 

If there was a way to track a difference in album and single streams and sales subsequently, maybe that argument could be made.

 

But even that's now negligible even for the big marquee stars.

She needs to fire that manager, first

 

She absolutely deserved to be nominated. Although if it was a fan-voted category, she wasn't gonna win

As she should. If certain other Pop stars were doing this they’d be called savvy businesswomen who care about the respect for their craft. 

 

SZA is having a tremendous year (esp. for an alt r&b black female artist) that deserves recognition on the highest level. Better put respect on her name!

Surprised at the reactions in here. The entitlement is showing. Who really loses here? Pulling out won’t bother MTV much. However, using the promo opportunity generated by their show would’ve definitely benefited her. 🤷‍♂️

And to think SZA cares enough for the VMAs to get offended for being snubbed... 

 

Anyway, considering she will be Ashanti's of the 20s, she should get as much exposure as she can, while she can.

I'm surprised people are praising this. Like, yes she should have been nominated (she wouldn't have won either way since it's fan voted) but she was nominated for everything else. Award shows performances are kinda pointless nowadays but why pull out because of that? :rip:

She always skips award shows, don’t know if she is lazy or she simply dislike awards

And she wouldn't have won against Taylor anyways. She got 6 noms including VOTY. 

Posted

But I thought the narrative was that nominations and wins were based on who attended? A true chicken & egg scenario lol

I'm not a SZA fan, but she absolutely deserved the AOTY nom. They were dumb for not nominating her.

:clap3: that's right Solana.

It's very much the same thing they did to Beyonce at The Grammy's.

she’s released a monstrous smash album despite barely any promo and the messiest rollout ever. She’s good on her own.

Disappointing. We love you SZA but get your head out your ass you don't even make good music videos :rip:

Makes sense.

When you are legit snub, there's no need to show up unless you need to promote. Snooze is already top 10. What's the purpose?

For now maybe. Things like this will just hurt her career longterm.
