When Rihanna was snubbed by MTV for a VMA nomination this year, we thought it was a one-time fluke. But now that the network’ss Europe Music Awards are set to air, and her name has again been left off some serious categories, we’re wondering if they’ve got it out for her.
Despite going on tour and releasing a record-breaking six songs from a single album (with music videos to match), the VMA’s didn’t recognize Rihanna for her solo work, only for her collabo with Eminem. Now, it seems the EMAs don’t find her worthy of a “Best Female Artist” win either. Somehow, they see Jennifer Lopez more fitting of the title!
Here’s a partial list of the nominees:
