Mariah Carey, Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, And Sinéad O’Connor Are Among The 2024 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees

Last year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame festivities were mudded by co-founder Jann Wenner’s disparaging remarks about Black artists and women. Now that Wenner has reportedly been removed from all levels of the ceremony, the 2024 process can focus back on the contributions of entertainers across genres.

On Saturday, February 10, the 2024 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame class nominees have been announced. Among the potential inductees are Mariah Carey, Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Sinéad O’Connor, Mary J. Blige, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B & Rakim, Foreigner, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sade, A Tribe Called Quest, Peter Frampton, Jane’s Addiction, and Kool & The Gang.

The most interesting acts on the nomination list are Cher and A Tribe Called Quest, as both have been called out semi-recently for being snubbed. In December, during her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher called out the organization for “snubbing” her in the past.

“It took four of them to be one of me,” she said. “And I’m not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! I’m not kidding you; I was about to say sh*tting you! You know what, I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars… I’m never going to change my mind. They can just go you-know-what themselves…I changed music forever with ‘Believe.’”

A Tribe Called Quest has been nominated multiple times but hasn’t been formally inducted. In 2023, former member Consequence spoke to TMZ about the “snub.”

“This is the family tree for me,” he said. “This is the tree that brought you G.O.O.D Music. This is the tree that allowed Common Sense to be Common. This is the right-hand man to De La Soul. Stop me when I’m lying. What we not gonna do is keep subjugating that name, A Tribe Called Quest, to a white popularity contest.”

The voting members of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame have their work cut out for them.

Mariah Carey Kicks Nick Cannon’s Reconciliation Comment To The Curb: ‘What Is He? My Last Hope?’

Shortly after Mariah Carey’s ex-husband, Nick Cannon, appeared to suggest he’d be open to reconnecting with her, she swiftly shut down any possibility. Or as someone smartly put it, they are never, ever getting back together. Like, ever.

“Remarrying?” Carey replied after being asked about Cannon’s comments by the paparazzi. “He’s making this up. This is him being silly.”

“What is he?” she added. “My last hope?”

Yesterday, Cannon’s interview with E! News made the rounds. “I mean, you gotta ask her!” Cannon responded after being asked if they would reconcile. “Let me know what she say!”

“Ask her, text me, we can talk through you,” he continued. “It’s Valentine’s is in the air, you can be the chocolate cupid. Let’s do it, I’m with it.”

Carey recently separated from her boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, which seemingly prompted the question during Cannon’s interview. That, and the reconnection of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who were finally married despite breaking up decades prior.

Cannon and Carey were married back in 2008, before finalizing their divorce in 2016. (Their separation process started two years prior.) The two also share a pair of twins and have been co-parenting.

Check out the video of Mariah Carey shutting down the chance that she and Nick Cannon would get back together above.

Lil Nas X Got Barack Obama, Taylor Swift, And Kanye West (Impersonators, That Is) For His ‘J Christ’ Video, A New Teaser Shows

Lil Nas X has been active in the lead-up to his new single “J Christ,” whether he’s maybe (but maybe not) enrolling in a Biblical studies program, showing off some genuine gospel music, or re-creating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. His “J Christ” video is set to drop this Friday, but ahead of then, he has again indulged in attention-grabbing antics with a new video teaser.

The 20-second video shows a long line of people in white robes, walking through a field, which looks like the iconic Windows XP wallpaper, and up a literal stairway to Heaven. In that line are a bunch of celebrity impersonators, of Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, and Barack Obama, as well as a couple who aren’t quite as perfect a visual match but who appear to represent Ed Sheeran and Oprah Winfrey.

Ever since he first burst onto the scene with “Old Town Road,” Nas has proven that he’s a viral marketing master, and this whole “J Christ” rollout is just another shining example of that.

In response to backlash over his crucifixion image, Nas wrote, “the crazy thing is nowhere in the picture is a mockery of jesus. Jesus’s image is used throughout history in people’s art all over the world. I’m not making fun of sh*t. yall just gotta stop trying to gatekeep a religion that was here before any of us were even born. stfu.”

Plies continues, “Play this motherfucking song 97 motherfucking times! Shit, you hear it right now.”

According to TMZ, the song itself was streamed an outstanding 23,701,697 times on Christmas Eve. This actually outdid last year’s streams on the same day, which clocks it at 21,273,357 times.
