ABC and Disney have a gigantic problem.
The Country Music Awards announced their nominees this morning and not among them is Beyonce who had one of the biggest hits in country music this year.
Let’s call it: this is pure racism.
Even worse is the CMA embracing Morgan Wallen, who was accused of racism when he was caught on tape for using the N word.
This is the height of temerity for the CMAs and the worst look possible for ABC and Disney.
Beyonce’s breakthrough bestselling album “Cowboy Carter” has sold a stunning 1.2 million copies. The single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” sold 2.5 million copies. The whole project was lavished with praise by critics. “Texas Hold ‘Em” is one of the best singles of the year in country, pop, or R&B.
CMA nominees should protest the awards given what’s happened. ABC should demand changes immediately. Beyonce wouldn’t show up now, but the look of this is disgraceful.
