Trump Protester Reminds Us That YG Got Robbed of a Grammy

Never forget YG had two albums that were slept on by members of the Grammy committee.

Americans are using signs to express their emotions in creative ways since President Donald Trump’s Inauguration. One protester not only wanted to recite lyrics from YG’s “FDT” on her sign, but she wanted to remind us that he was robbed of a Grammy.

Twitter user Maryam Elarbi shared her sign she made for the women’s march on Washington Saturday afternoon. As a co-sign, YG shared her photo on Twitter.

Elarbi was ecstatic that YG saw her pic. She says she left the sign on the White House lawn as an everlasting reminder that YG deserves a gramophone.

It’s no secret that fans have been vocal about YG’s albums being shut out of the Best Rap Album category. In 2014, when My Krazy Life was snubbed from the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, he told Power 106 Los Angeles that it was a “slap in the face.” It sparked protests by his fans who decided to picket outside of the Grammy Museum.

YG’s next release, Still Brazy, received more accolades from critics, yet the album wasn’t nominated for the 2017 Grammy Awards. You can watch a round-up of other omissions below.

Hopefully, Elarbi’s statement nudges the Grammy committee to give YG the nomination he deserves. His next project is Just Re'd Up 3that finds him reuniting with DJ Mustard again.
