“Pack it up”- Fans Hilariously Troll André 3000 Over His Grammy Nomination Following Recent Listener Spike

Published 11/12/2024, 8:15 PM EST

Endurance defines an artist more than their skills, but in the shark tank of showbiz, durability and instability, simultaneously invite cold shoulders. After the Grammys recently rolled out its nomination chart, tabloids took the cue to play their prediction dice. However, not all artistic ships are steering that anchor, since rappers like André 3000 are falling out of favor with the audience, despite a Grammy nomination and a subsequent listener boost. Instead of preparing his bags to take Grammy’s center stage next year, fans have been advising him to pack them once and for all, amidst their unforgiving troll fest.

André 3000 has always been one of the mainstays of the Grammy fortune, and this year is no exception. The rapper snagged an Album of the Year nomination for his 2023 debut solo record, ‘New Blue Sun,’ prompting a nearly 60% streaming spike on Spotify in the US. The music mogul is in the running for the title alongside 7 competitors. While his Grammy nomination called for a toast and celebrations, fans slipped into mischief-makers' cloaks, turning X into a full-blown troll-a-palooza.
