Saturday afternoon, Jan. 3, saw quite an interesting assortment of protest signs, such as "Bruh!" and "#Bicketing," as fans of YG assembled at the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles. The protestors assembled to support YG as he was wronged out of a Grammy nomination, as the young rapper tweeted, "I ain't tell em do this doe."
YG acknowledged that he had nothing to do with organizing the group of loyal fans but was elated to support the protest motives on Twitter.
The dedicated group of fans assembled at the Grammy Museum, and their protest effort led to them being kicked out of the museum, as well as garnishing attention online.
YG, the rapper from Compton, California, has vocalized his opinion on his lack of a Grammy nod several times, including with an interview on Big Boy's Neighborhood.
YG made a case for himself, stating that the reason he was not nominated had to due with his background.
"I think it has to do with me being from the streets, and representing what I represent," he told Big Boy's Neighborhood.
His debut album, My Krazy Life, saw its fair share of support and critical acclaim, but it still was not enough for a Grammy nomination. YG stated in the interview that he felt his album was better than other nominations in the Best Rap Album category, such as Eminem and Iggy Azalea.
In his interview regarding his Grammy snub, YG compares his frustration to how Kanye West felt when he interrupted Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.
The protesters referred to themselves as "Bicketors" and have helped make a case that YG has some of the most loyal fans in the game right now. YG also referred to the protest as "Brazy."
Do you think YG was snubbed of a Grammy nomination? Is My Krazy Life worthy of a nomination?
