“They Did Her So Dirty” — Internet Reacts to Megan Thee Stallion’s Loss at 2024 BET Awards Despite Being Most Nominated Female Rapper

The 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards stirred up significant discussion online after Megan Thee Stallion, despite being the most nominated female artist with 12 nominations, left the event without receiving a single award. In contrast, Kendrick Lamar secured the title of the night’s biggest winner, taking home 8 trophies out of his 11 nominations.

Megan was competing in high-profile categories such as Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, Best Live Performer, Lyricist of the Year, and Hustler of the Year. Furthermore, her tracks including “Boa,””Mamushi,””Hiss,””Wanna Be,””Bongos,”and her 2024 album titled “Megan”were also nominated across various segments of the awards night.

Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustration over what they viewed as a glaring snub for the Houston rapper. While a portion of the audience criticized the awards for their decision, others supported the outcome, stating it was justified. Noteworthy comments included:

“They did her so dirty! !”shared a user on X.

“She’s amazing,”stated another user.

“Got robbed,”tweeted one fan.

Conversely, a substantial group argued that the results were legitimate.

“She hasn’t been that good. Putting too much energy on things that don’t help rather than music,”commented one user.

“They just tryna make her look good on paper atp,”expressed another.

“The crazy thing is you think she deserved it,”noted yet another user.

One fan referenced Nicki Minaj’s win for Album of the Year with “Pink Friday 2,”suggesting that since Megan has already clinched three Grammys, it would be Nicki’s time to shine.

“Megan has 3 Grammys, Nicki none so sit this one out,”remarked the netizen.

“Because Roc Nation is saving up for the Grammys, and recouping from the award show they just had her hosting that they bought awards for,”speculated another fan.

“Mind you Kendrick won most of the categories she was in,”added yet another user.
