Sexyy Red’s fans aren’t happy, and they’re letting everyone know. At the recent BET Awards, there was a lot of excitement surrounding the St. Louis rapper. With a big year behind her that included touring with Drake, several high-profile collaborations, and dropping a mixtape titled “In Sexyy We Trust” just last month, many believed she was a top contender for multiple awards.
Sexyy Red was in the running for several categories, including Best Collaboration and Best Female Artist. However, it was the Best New Artist award that has her fans most riled up. Instead of Sexyy Red, the award went to Tyla, and her supporters feel it just wasn’t fair.
Social media lit up with fans expressing their frustration. “Sexyy should’ve won best new artist over Tyla tbf,” one commenter wrote. Another said, “It’s ok sis, your efforts don’t go unnoticed. You won in my book.” Despite the snub, Sexyy Red appeared unfazed. She shared clips and photos from the awards show on Instagram, showing her having a blast – making it rain in the crowd, dancing, and more.
In one of her latest posts, Sexyy Red is seen throwing cash on the carpet. Her caption read, “I do dis for da trenches da hood btches winnin.” It’s clear she’s not letting the loss get her down. Instead, she’s enjoying the moment and continuing to celebrate her achievements.
Many feel the Best New Artist award should have gone to Sexyy Red, but she seems to be taking it all in stride. Her fans are vocal, but she’s keeping the positive energy flowing. Whether or not she took home the trophy, it’s obvious Sexyy Red is still winning in the eyes of her supporters.
