Natalie Cole’s Family Angry Over Late Singer Snub During Grammys 2016

During Monday night’s Grammys 2016, late musicians such as David Bowie and Glenn Frey were honored with performances but upon seeing a very short clip recognizing Natalie Cole, Cole’s family was upset.

Cole’s son Robert Adam Yancy and her sisters, Timolin and Casey, are calling out the Award show for not giving their mom a better tribute.

“Here is a woman who has been in the business for four decades, had 21 Grammy nominations and won nine Grammys,” Yancy told Entertainment Tonight. “She deserves more than (to be a part of) a minute-and-a-half tribute. It was shameless the way they minimized her legacy. We will find solace in her legacy as well as her endless fans around the world.”

“Sadly a forgettable tribute to Natalie Cole. Words cannot express the outrage and utter disappointment at the disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof, to a legendary artist such as our sister,” Timolin and Casey said.

Celebrities also voiced their opions on the lackluster tribute to Cole.

Holly Robinson Peete tweeted, “We lost so many greats but Natalie Cole 1st African American to win Best New Artist deserved a tribute #Grammys #BHM”


Lee Daniels, co-creator of Empire, posted a black and white photo of Cole with the caption, “Disappointed in Grammys… Come y’all … She deserved a better tribute #9grammyswon really???… R.I.P ??❤️??”

Cole won nine Grammys in the span of her career before her death due to heart failure last year.
