Just saw this: "A portion of the proceeds from #Trollz including merch items, will be going directly to The Bail Project Inc.," she wrote in the Instagram post." "The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial. We want to protect and support the thousands of brave people working on the front lines of social justice, using their voices to demand AN END to the targeting and killing of Black Americans by the police."
Is someone gonna tell her Also not that she doesn't make a general good point, but hers specifically might have more weight if Esparanza Spalding hadn't won literally the year before. And not that that means Nicki can't win because of that but like, come on Nicki. Although Nicki not having a Grammy in general is pretty wild when you think about it
I don't really know how to feel about this anymore. On one hand yeah the Grammys obviously are racist to an extent but also I don't understand why anyone would still give a fuck about the Grammys. Hip Hop never needed the fucking Grammys, ever since the first Rap Grammy winners (DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince) boycotted the whole event because it was racist then too.
