JUST IN: Beyonce Blasts CMA Awards for ‘Racism and Elitism’
In a scathing statement, Beyonce has accused the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) of racism and elitism after her collaborator, Cowboy Carter, was snubbed for a well-deserved win.
“I am appalled and disappointed, but not surprised, by the CMA’s lack of diversity and inclusion,” Beyonce said. “Cowboy Carter’s work was robbed of the recognition it deserved, and it’s a clear example of the systemic racism and elitism that perpetuates the country music industry.”
Beyonce called out the CMA for its failure to acknowledge and celebrate artists of color, particularly in the country music genre. “It’s time for the CMA to address its diversity issues and make a conscious effort to include and celebrate artists from all backgrounds,” she demanded.
Fans and fellow artists have rallied behind Beyonce’s statement, expressing their own outrage and frustration with the CMA’s snub. “Beyonce is speaking truth to power, and it’s about time someone called out the CMA’s racism and elitism,” tweeted one fan.
The CMA has yet to respond to Beyonce’s statement, but the controversy has sparked a much-needed conversation about diversity and inclusion in the country music industry. Stay tuned for updates!”
