Not Worth Those Awards? More Controversy On Beyonce Grammy Nominations Continues

Beyonce Grammy nominations for 2025 are still sparking debates across social media platforms for her last album Cowboy Carter. Recall that the popstar clinched 11 nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards, including Song and Record of the Year for “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter.

This made her to be the most Grammy-nominated star artist with 99 nominations followed by her husband Jay Z with 88 nominations. Beyonce is arguably one of the best performers of the 21st century but people tend to underestimate her prowess as a vocalist as the best vocalist of her generation.

Beyonce’s Grammy nominations are putting her on an artistic pedestal and several social media users are contriving that it was nepotism because she has been known for lying about her songwriting skills. The majority of her catalogue exists because of so many songwriters and producers who work for her.

She doesn’t write songs but claims to do so and this is because she usually adds her name to track’s credits after changing a single lyric or two. She further makes bogus claims that she plays a huge part in the process of creating the concept for her music which are all lies.

A good example is her assertion in Barbara Walters’s interview about one of her tracks “Bootylicious.”  She told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track which was false and mentioned she wrote it for her girls. The backlash over Beyonce’s Grammy nomination is not really because of her songwriting claims.

Or the fact that she is claiming part of songwriting royalties even though she didn’t write anything. It is tied to the fact that she is overrated as an artist and she is always taking credit for a lot of things other people have done such as her choreographies (eg. Single Ladies), claiming as though she created these dance routines.

This is why several social media users are ranting about the 11 Beyonce Grammy nominations.  They consider her a watered-down version of her influences such as Tina Turner and Etta James who has far more soul than she does and have written a huge chunk of their music.
