Summer Walker’s boyfriend, LVRD Pharoh, questioned why Doja Cat was nominated in the R&B categories at the Billboard Music Awards.
While Doja picked up three R&B awards including, Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Female, and Top R&B Album. LVRD Pharoh took to social media to voice his frustrations writing, “It’s not about Summer winning. It’s about respecting the culture of R&B. In the 2000s, none of this ‘pop-based music’ would have been considered R&B because it’s not that!! God bless everybody.”
“No one is knocking [Doja Cat’s] artistry. She’s an amazing POP artist. But R&B is R&B. SZA, Summer, and Giveon should have won because they are the actual [artists] for the category!” Pharoh continued.
