Snoop Dogg, who has received 16 Grammy nominations without a win, expressed frustration with the Grammy Awards, joining a group of four rappers, including Travis Scott, Busta Rhymes, and Nicki Minaj, with at least 10 nominations but no wins. Snoop, with more nominations than some winless icons outside hip-hop, such as Diana Ross and Katy Perry, has been recognized in categories like Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for various tracks, but the Grammys have not honored him for his legendary career.

Snoop Dogg's Instagram post addressing the issue followed Jay-Z's recent criticism of the Grammys during the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award acceptance speech, where he highlighted the Recording Academy's failure to award Beyoncé Album of the Year despite her 32 Grammy wins.
