Maybe by next year they will get it right,\u201d wrote Cardi. \u201cHowever let\u2019s not forget the Grammys nominated soo many independent black artists this year that don\u2019t get the exposure by blogs, magazines and other awards shows.\u201d She went on to namecheck performers like Chika, D Smoke, Royce da 5\u20199\u201d, Freddie Gibbs, Jay Electronica, Kaytranada, Brittany Howard, Mykal Kilgore, Ledisi, Jean and Marcus Baylor, Luke James, Gregory Porter, Giveon, Ant Clemons, Robert Glasper, Free Nationals and Thundercat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating sometimes to work and work on your craft and you feel overlooked because you might not look like others, are not mixxy so you not always around other artists, you rap or sing about different material, you stay out of drama and the media or yet still not as popular. However you\u2019re a talented-ass fuck and one day you wake up and you find out you\u2019re nominated and got a notice from one of the biggest awards show purely cause of your TALENT!\u201d she wrote. \u201cSoo besides all the bullshit let\u2019s not forget to congratulate all these artists. This is their moment too and they been working their ass off with no exposure. And let\u2019s not overshadow it with feelings cause your favorite might not be on the list. Congrats guys and good luck on the Grammys. You deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Megan Thee Stallion won two Grammy Awards during the evening for Best Rap Performance and Best New Artist.<\/p>\n<p>Harry Styles also performed &#8211; and all we can say is thank you to Gucci&#8217;s Alessandro Michele for gifting us with this outfit.
