Following the Grammy nomination announcement on Monday, Omarion turned to Twitter to express his disappointment about being snubbed for his single, “Post to Be.” ;
The electro-hop R&B track, co-written by Chris Brown and Jhené Aiko, was released in November 2014. The song appeared on Omarion’s fourth album, “Sex Playlist,” and, in his opinion, ;it deserved to be nominated for Best R&B Performance. ;
At first, it seemed like he was pulling a Kanye West, starting things off by calling his track ;”one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever.” (In his defense, this editor is a fan of “Post to Be.”)
But really, he was just hoping for some acknowledgement, noting that it takes hard work to make a hit. He also wrote that even though “odds have always been against” him, he’ll continue to do great things. ;
After reading through the tweets, it seems the snub just provided more motivation for Omarion, who also wrote, “I’ll be back. Have my Grammy’s ready.” ;
Omarion wasn’t the only artist disappointed when he saw the list of nominees. Hip-hop artist Killer Mike ;(of Run The Jewels) tweeted a similar sentiment, scoffing at the Grammys while also using his snub as motivation to create “meaner & better” music. ;
