lovers were left fuming as the list of 2024 the CMA Award nominations were announced and name was nowhere in sight. Beyoncé's unexpected snub comes as the 43-year-old artist shattered music records this year with her . The history-making release broke numerous records this year including becoming the most-streamed album in a single day, generating the most first-day global streams of all her albums, and reeling in the most first-day streams for a country album by a female artist.
But despite these notable wins, Beyoncé was not nominated for any awards at the 2024 CMA Awards. This has left the Beyhive outraged with many taking to social media airing out their complaints towards the award show on social media and slamming the ceremony for consistently denying Black artists fair recognition over the years. After the CMA Award nominations were announced many fans took to X, formerly Twitter, airing out their grievances with the award show.
One user wrote: "The CMA’s have once again deferred to those in the industry who prefer to deny Black artists the recognition they deserve, failing to nominate Beyoncé in a single category this year despite her record-breaking success with TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and #COWBOYCARTER," and added: "The CC era received overwhelming critical acclaim, commercially-outperformed nearly all other releases this year, and brought millions of new listeners and engagements to the genre." Others brought up the history of the award show lacking diversity. Ano.
