Beyoncé’s dad fumes, blames racism for CMA snub of her country album
Mathew Knowles, the father of singer Beyoncé’, has expressed anger after his daughter was shut out of the Country Music Awards (CMA) nominations.
Beyoncé released her highly anticipated country album ‘Cowboy Carter Act II’ on March 29.
The project topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, debuting as the number-one body of work in April.
The Country Music Association recently announced its nominees for its 58th awards, and Beyoncé’s name was excluded.
Registering his disappointment in a chat with TMZ, Mathew claimed the votes were not based on achievements but on race.
“There are more white people in America and unfortunately they do not vote based on ability and achievements, it is still sometimes a white and black thing,” he said.
Meanwhile, Shaboozey, who is featured on Beyoncé’s country album, was nominated for ‘Best New Artiste’ and ‘Single of the Year’ for his 2024 release ‘A Bar Song’.
