Donald Glover: "I have more Grammys than Will Smith but I have the same amount of BET Awards as Sam Smith. Does that make sense to yall?“

[Emoryal]

I don't know if I don't get what he's trying to say or if y'all are just sensitive...probably a mix of both

The definition of “inauthentic”.

He'd be fine if he had BW support.

He most certainly doesn’t want or need it. We good.

This cornball c00n has a Grammy?

He’s the first rapper to ever win Song Of The Year and Record Of The Year for This Is America

He supports black women creatives and has gone out of his way to do so since the first time he was ever in a position of power (as creator and executive producer of Atlanta)

On one side I understand where he’s coming from, he’s always been labeled as corny by most black circles before Atlanta/Redbone. On the other side is a BET award really that meaningful to him over a grammy?

Thank God he was far away from the stage this time.

Ideally it should be.

He coulda did that without all the extra shyt beforehand. And now he's in therapy because of it.

I think he literally does not care about winning a BET award. He was just trying to jokingly patronize the event. Basically saying the type of quality or authentic music, movies, tv shows he makes or celebs similar will not get recognize at an award show that seems to only highlight or award bubblegum or superficial work.

how many more black features till you finally feel that you black enough

I like Donald with the melodies, I don't like Donald when he act tough
