Jay-Z opted out of performing at the Grammys this year, and after his shutout, it was a great decision.

Fuck the Grammy bri
Please never let a 12 year old cover a Jay Z story again.
That was such a pointless and boring story. Slow news day, Complex "News?"
blu is up next 🤗
jay z was smart not to perform!
Anyone with dignity declining the grammys on anything is a good thing.
certain things said on Hov's album. certain things said on Bey's album. they don't forget that.
Bc he ass
Y'all got me fucked up , if y'all think ima watch a 30 sec ad , byee
"No such thing as an ugly billionaire im cute"
Oh so that's why they're mad. They wanted him to perform. He didn't do a song and dance for them so they put him in categories to make it look like he "lost".
4:44 was trash. No bangers = no Grammys
Snubbing black artists is a headline grabber and a way to get views at this point for the Grammys its undeniable who should have won the last 5 years but eyyy, we cry about it and it gives em headlines for, "Let's watch black ppl get pissed off" and well its entertaining, I guess. So at the end of the day…what are you doing to do?
Oh no not enough Grammys under their belt what a shame
he should have performed but karma is a bitch that's why he went 0 for 8
L for fraiser existing
The Grammy's used to be good when music was good. Now it sucks big time because the music sucks and they are too political and are nothing but Trump haters.
There are many talented artist out there who deserve a shot. You can't just give these awards to the same people year after year. It begins to look like favoritism. Move over Beyonce and Jay-Z. Although your music is good it's time to step aside. Go raise your family and give others a chance.
I just finally listened to lemonade last week and its really good.
They play u.. But want u to play for them.. Hov said no good call Jay..
Album coming… Award show comin….
Jay-Z might have been snubbed cause he declined to perform
Complex look up to JayZ like a God
Jay Z accepting to perform determines him an award. you scratch my back, i scratch yours kind of thing. This shit happens all the time. Birdie says Beyonce did this one year for a reputable award show. the award show practically begged her to perform cause they knew what her star power and value would bring to the annual show. In return guaranteed her an award. Other artists have done this in the past also. im not only getting at Bey.
Daddy yankee and Luis fonsi gave a great performance and still lost song and record of the year. The grammys are a joke
Without a doubt this title spells Frazier reporting, boy getting a swole head thinking he knows current shit
why you acting like jay z not winning is 'safe' its the safest option in the rap album category
The Grammy awards are over rated lol
So tired of these 30 second ads that can’t be skipped.
Bieber, Lorde, Frank Ocean, Ed Sheeran, and Drake all dissed the Grammys this year. Jay should’ve done the same.
He’s washed up, no one other than old heads want to listen to him.
Frazier, why do you use your hat like that?
They won’t attend the next Grammys, but will win so many more. Give them
the Grammys while you have them there!
Shout out to Jay for having the best rap album of the year.
Fuck Jay Z he's a wigga now anyways
He should of got something bc hes pushing 50?? What type of logic is that? The best man won
#JayZStan 😂
I swear he just said Jay Z Stan instead of Jay Z Fan Lmao
Fuck.the grammys

Hahaha jay z didnt even win one hahaha
f the grammys when ur fave don't win . Story of OJ deserved something. This year had the lowest ratings
It doesn't matter. Jay z has 21 Grammy's in total. Most the rappers who dissed 4:44 didn't win shit either or don't have any at all. So in the end Jay Z still wins.
