2019 Grammy Nominations: Cardi, H.E.R. And SZA Come Up Big

December 7, 2018. 1 Comment

The Recording Academy released its 2019 Grammy Award nominations today (December 7th), a day later than was planned out of respect for the funeral of former president George H.W. Bush.

Nominations were lead by Kendrick Lamar with a total of eight, followed by Drake with seven. Among women, folk singer Brandi Carlile has six nominations, while Cardi B, Lady Gaga and H.E.R. all were tapped for  five different categories. After getting blanked last year despite five nominations, SZA returns this year with four nominations, all for her feature on Kendrick Lamar’s “All the Stars” single.

The Grammy Awards are always as much about who wasn’t nominated and who was, and it’s been pointed out that Nicki Minaj received zero nods for her Queen album, while Taylor Swift garnered just a single nomination (best pop vocal album) for her Reputation album. Kanye West‘s album Ye was also blanked though he did receive a nomination as producer of the year.

In an effort to recognize more artists, the Academy has expanded the number of nominees from five to eight in the four major award categories: album, record  and song of the year plus best new artist. Also, the organization also made an effort to bring in new voting members to build in a wider array of tastes and backgrounds among voters.

Below are a list of nominees. The full complete nominations list is available on grammy.com.

Reese sparked chatter when she missed her past four games for reasons that remain undisclosed.

When asked about her absence on Nov. 20th, Mulkey said, "You always have to deal with locker room issues. That’s just part of coaching. In 40 years, I can never think of a time where I didn’t have to deal with issues. That’s what coaches do. Sometimes y’all know about it and sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you want to know more than you’re entitled to know." 

Reese's close friend, senior LSU guard Kateri Poole, has also missed the team’s last four games.

London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Og London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi has provided her first official interview since since presenting her spring 2024 Mowalola collection in London in September. In the exchange with @dazed, Ogunlesi revealed the presentation almost didn't happen because of lack of funding, until Ye aka Kanye West stepped in and covered the cost of the show. (Image shot by @BrentMcKeever for Dazed with styling by @ellaluciaa)

The spring 2024 runway stirred controversy because it included a mini skirt adorned with the flag of Saudia Arabia, which features the Shahada, an Islamic oath. Strict observers of the faith descended on the label's social media feeds where they excoriated the designer for printing the the holy oath on clothing, which has been banned by the Saudi Ministry of Commerce for commercial purposes since 2022. Ogunlesi initially brushed off the criticism but then apologized and took down images of the skirt. 

Ogunlesi was also asked to address Ye's more controversial views, which include a whole host of antisemetic and bigoted statements. "You don’t have to agree with everyone but he’s also been, apart from my parents and my sister and my community, the only person who’s supported me in this business," she explained. "He’s helped me see my dreams come true, and I appreciate that. If not for him, I would lowkey be dead in the water."

The Central Saint Martins graduate also spoke on the ongoing challenges of keeping a small label funded along with her wish to work for a larger label. Highlighting a lead creative role at Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood as goal worthy, Ogunlesi pointed out that the industry might not be ready to hire a Black woman to lead a major label. "I’ve never seen any Black woman at the head of any house, and I keep seeing all these diagrams of the history of fashion houses and it’s all white people.

"It feels like it’s already decided that it isn’t a space for a Black woman, you know? I feel like they’re only just testing out the Black man now. The Black woman doesn’t even cross their minds," she said.
U.S.-born stylist and editor Gabriella Karefa-John U.S.-born stylist and editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson has announced she has stepped down from her role as Vogue global contributing editor. She made the news official on Business of Fashion‘s podcast where she stated, “The truth of the matter is we grow and sometimes our containers don’t grow with us. And so I am excited to build a new container for all of these ideas and this energy.” 

Karefa-Johnson’s resignation comes in the midst of layoffs at Condé Nast, which recently announced plans to cut about five percent of its workforce, impacting approximately 270 employees.

Rumors she was no longer with the publication began to circulate back in mid-October when she removed the title Vogue editor from her Instagram profile. During the same period, she took to Instagram Stories where she spoke out against the Israel-Hamas War, describing Israel as an “apartheid state,” adding its attacks on Palestine were the equivalent of “genocide.”

When Vogue was asked to provide feedback on her comments, a spokesperson told the NY Post, “Gabriella’s social media posts and opinions are her own and do not represent those of the company.” At the time, a second, unnamed Vogue source noted that Karefa-Johnson was not a full-time employee at the magazine, noting she was not asked by Vogue parent company Condé Nast to remove Vogue editor from her bio.

On the podcast, Karefa-Johnson seemingly pushed back on speculation she was forced out by Vogue for her stance on the Israel-Hamas war, stating, “I loved and learned so much at Vogue magazine. It’s my home. I grew up there, and I can’t wait to take those tools and apply them in ways that are really just true to who I am and serve me and serve people who look like me and people listen and follow me. It’s really about serving that community now.”

While at Vogue, Karefa-Johnson styled a series of high-profile covers including Paloma Elsesser, Kamala Harris, Serena Williams, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Beiber, among others.
