When it’s time for the Grammys, it’s a joyous time. That is, if you’re the recipient of the prestigious award or a faithful viewer. If you’re the artist that got snubbed, you’re feeling every way but joyous. And Snoop Dogg is one of them. According to the Westcoast legend, he’s gotten snubbed again, and he took his frustration to social media.
“Snoop dogg. 20 nominations. 0 wins,” he wrote along with a sarcastic applause emoji.
