Addison Rae responds to MTV VMAs snub

Addison Rae has spoken out after receiving no nominations for this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

The former TikTok star signed with Columbia Records and launched her music career in a major way last year with the viral single Diet Pepsi, and dropped her debut studio album, Addison, in June.

Her fans were stunned when she received no VMA nominations earlier this month, and Addison has now addressed the snub herself.

"Not everybody was gonna accept it and enjoy it, but I think I will never let that change the way I view creating, and making music videos or making songs and putting out different organisations of music and groups of creative decisions," she told Apple Music Radio's Zane Lowe. "It definitely is funny whenever you feel like you put in a lot of work into something and it doesn't get recognised by some place that you feel like you were contributing to."

The 24-year-old attended the VMAs last year and made a splash for wearing a Madonna-inspired white lingerie set with a tutu on the red carpet.

Lady Gaga leads this year's nominations with twelve, followed by Bruno Mars with eleven and Kendrick Lamar with ten.

The awards show will take place on Sunday 7 September at the UBS Arena in New York, with rapper LL Cool J serving as host.

Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin and Busta Rhymes will perform medleys to celebrate their honorary awards, while Sabrina Carpenter, J Balvin and Alex Warren will also take to the stage.
