<p>&#8220;@billboard explain to me how a pop artist @dojacat wins two R&amp;B categories??? And she has one R&amp;B song ever??&#8221; LVRD Pharoh asked following last night&#8217;s BBMAs. &#8220;@billboard numbers don&#8217;t lie, how didn&#8217;t she win?</p>

<p>Pharoh continued to gas his girl&#8217;s most recent project, writing, &#8220;As I recall, <em>Still Over It</em> topped @beyonce <em>Lemonade</em> TWICE. How did @summerwalker not win any R&amp;B woman categories? I&#8217;ll wait.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <em>AllHipHop</em> reports, the mother of one lost out on Top R&amp;B Artist, Top R&amp;B Female, and Top R&amp;B Album to Doja Cat. Other artists nominated in the genre&#8217;s many categories include Giveon, <a href="/profile/sza" class="text-word" target="_blank" >SZA</a>, <a href="/profile/TheWeeknd" class="text-word" target="_blank" >The Weeknd</a>, and Silk Sonic, to name a few.</p>

<p>&#8220;No one is knocking [Doja Cat&#8217;s] artistry,&#8221; LVRD Pharoh, also known as Larry, defended his initial post. &#8220;She&#8217;s an amazing POP artist. But R&amp;B is R&amp;B. SZA, Summer, and Giveon should have won because they are actual [artists] for the category!&#8221;</p>
<p>Walker&#8217;s beau insisted, &#8220;It’s not about Summer winning. It’s about respecting the culture of R&amp;B.&#8221; He concluded, &#8220;In the 2000s, none of this ‘pop-based music’ would have been considered R&amp;B because it’s not that!! God bless everybody.&#8221;</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been noted that RCA Records lists Doja as a &#8220;multi-genre artist,&#8221; listing her talents as &#8220;wild hip-hop, twisted pop, and smoked-out R&amp;B.&#8221;</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time that the California-born starlet&#8217;s categorization at award shows has been criticized. At the AMAs last year, fans expressed their disappointment at seeing Jazmine Sullivan lose out to Doja Cat – <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/doja-cat-takes-home-2-randb-amas-twitter-says-they-should-ve-gone-to-jazmine-sullivan-news.143336.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">read more about that here</a>, and tap back in with <em>HNHH</em> later for more hip-hop news updates.</p>
