The Grammys announced the nominations for its 58th annual awards show today (December 7). Kendrick Lamar was nominated 11 times, including twice in the Rap/Sung Collaboration category.
One name that was not on that list was Omarion, whose single, “Post To Be” with Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko, is certified platinum. The video has more than 300 million views on YouTube at time of print.
The Maybach Music Group singer took to Twitter to express his frustration with not being nominated.
“‘Post to be’ is one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever. CB, Jhene, & myself been in the game 10+,” he writes in a series of posts. “Even though people act like its easy to make a hit (& it’s not). As an artist you look forward to being acknowledged by the game. The odds have always been against me. I constantly prove you wrong. I’ll consistently do great things & you will have to celebrate me.”
Omarion says that he will use this as motivation to further progress his music career.
“This isn’t a ‘im upset’ (post to be) rant,” he writes. “This is a- ok so that wasn’t good enough. I’ll be back. Have my Grammy’s ready. The game has long changed since I was introduced to it. They want to still treat me like I’m a new to this. My moment is coming trust. So when it’s all said & done. Remember. I prophesied it. It’s my destiny. I was destined. Chosen.”
Lmao o needs to chill.
He can’t be complaining. Dude was the worst part of that song
What a bitch. That song was shit including one wife beater, one wack singer, and a guy who became a bitch by supporting ross and meek instead of birdman and drake.
Didn’t you like this song when you were defending it months ago? You’re a undecisive bitch.A And of course Omarion is gonna support his boss and labelmate.
Never said I liked it. Chris Brown hogged up most of the song.
Yes, you did. You talked about how dope it was and brought up its success. Your hypocrisy shines through with each comment you make.
Never heard of the song and didn’t know this dude was still around. Restating that I’ve never heard the song, I’m still sure it’s not worth of a Grammy nomination.
Lmfao! #NailedIt
I believe that if you can’t even use English properly than you shouldn’t even be considered for a Grammy. I’m sorry but nobody can tell me that “Post To Be” was a clever play on “Suppose To Be.” Get your grammar right!
Ouch. That kind of takes the art of it. Still a funny comment. Thank you.
Lmfao!
Says the person who can’t differentiate between THEN and THAN.
Omarion a rapper tho?
I say fuck this song just off the fact that it created an awkward moment for me when the broad says “gotta eat the booty like groceries” and the radio don’t beep that part out. I’m riding in the car with my young daughter. That’s some bullshit lbvs Not that that’s Omarion’s fault but still
I feel you, even though I don’t have kids. Chris Brown’s “Loyal” makes me uncomfortable for similar reasons. The worst part is that the edited version says “these GIRLS ain’t loyal” which is worst than saying “hoes” if you’re riding with your child.
Why are you modafuckaz hatin on this dude,he is not new in the game.plz show him so love by giving him what belongs to him. Omarion is not a lame I’m just been honest.
Nothing is owed to anybody!! Especially entitled singers!!
1st of all that single sucks. 2nd of all Jhene cannot sing for the life of her. She has the vocal cords of a mouse. Shes so amateur its not even funny.
You wanna know who can sing and is only 19? Allesia Cara. You should’ve got her on it.
His propaganda machine didnt do its job right, so stop crying over spilt milk
“This isn’t a “im upset” (post to be) rant.” < Yes! Yes it is lmfao
“So when it’s all said & done. Remember. I prophesied it. It’s my destiny. I was destined. Chosen.” < Somebody's on one? Feeling yourself much? Lmfao
Yes, you did. You talked about how dope it was and brought up its success. Your hypocrisy shines through with each comment you make.” Alright fine, but i hate the song now.
Paranoid was more of an anthem and it didn’t win nothin
“one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever” jesus this dude is fucking delusional..is he joking? Average/forgettable song that became popular because the bitch on it talked about getting her ass eaten..he think people are still gonna remember it in 10 years? 10 weeks is probably optimistic
Because a bitch on tha song say a nigga eat the booty like groceries. . That’s tha only reason why tha shit got hot.. Tha fuck outta here….lol
There is absolutely no way this song should have been left off the nomination list. It goes without saying….Drake’s ‘Back to Back’ was nominated in a serious Rap Category????
“one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever”
Really dude, you gonna say “Ever”…these new niggas always think they doing groundbreaking.
If it won, it would have been his grammy, anyway. They could have taken Omarion off the song, and it would have still garnered the same success
Omarion….how high were you??
