Fans React To Victoria Monét Getting Snubbed By VMAs… Again

Fans are ready to ride at dawn for Victoria Monét once again after the singer was snubbed in major categories at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

Victoria Monét Is The Visual: Her Top 10 Best Music Videos, Ranked

Nominations for this year’s show were released on Tuesday (Aug. 6) and the JAGUAR II songstress wasn’t nominated for Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Cinematography, or Best Choreography.

This comes a year after she was told that it was “too early in [her] story” to perform at the awards show.

One fan took to Twitter writing , “Victoria Monet and Tinashe not getting one vma nomination is some sort of sick joke.” Another chimed in, “The thing is… Victoria Monét is a textbook MTV VMAs artist. She wears her legendary influences on her sleeve and she creates amazing visual pop art, idk why they keep overlooking her?!”

Elsewhere, someone felt Monét’s snub was personal as they tweeted , “Now, who down at the @vmas & @MTV has a problem with Victoria Monét? Because this is starting to feel personal. My girl always delivers ART in her music videos.”

As a constellation prize of sorts, the now three-time Grammy winner is up for Best R&B for “ On My Mama ” and the fan-voted category PUSH Performance of the Year.

The eligibility period, according to Billboard , was from June 22, 2023 to June 20, 2024—which means the visual for “ Alright ” could’ve been nominated. It premiered on June 10.

Monét has not yet responded to this year’s nominations, but after being snubbed as a performer last year, she remained gracious.

“I see your advocation for me to have performed tonight and I’m so grateful to you!! Sincerely!” she tweeted . “My team was told it is ‘too early in my story’ for that opportunity so we will keep working! I’m grateful for YOU […] For me, it’s part of the story…and in Gods time.”

Since then, she headlined her own tour and stole the show at the 2024 BET Awards and this year’s ESSENCE Fest .
