April 04, (THEWILL) – American rapper, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. aka Snoop Dogg, has sarcastically thanked the organisers of the Grammy Awards for nominating him 19 times without a win.
“Y’all have fun at the Grammys…19… I guess I’m 0 for 19,” he said, referring to his 19 nominations since his solo rap career started in the early ’90s.
The 50-year-old rapper, who was not nominated this year, took to his official Instagram page hours before the 64th Grammy award on Sunday, to express his disappointment at the Grammys for being nominated 19 times without winning an award.
“Grammys. Nineteen nominations no win thanks,” the ‘Drop it like it’s hot’ hitmaker wrote in the caption of the video clip from his private flight.
“How do you feel about that?” the 50-year-old rapper further asked his fans.
Snoop Dogg was six times nominated for the ‘Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group’.
Two times, the legendary rapper was nominated for the ‘Best Rap Solo Performance’ category of the awards and ‘Best Rap Song’ four times.
Also, he was nominated for the ‘Best Rap/Sung Collaboration’ two times, ‘Album of the Year’ two times, with ‘Best Reggae Album’, ‘Best Rap Song’, and ‘Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals’ once each.
