Charli XCX has joked that she was snubbed by the Grammys because they don’t want to see “hot evil girls thrive”.

The “Used To Know Me” singer connected Mia Goth’s 2022 slasher movie “Pearl” going unnominated for an Oscar to her album “Crash” not receiving a nod at Sunday’s (05.02.23) ceremony.

She tweeted: “me not being nominated for a grammy for crash is like mia goth not being nominated for an oscar for pearl and only further proves that people don’t wanna see hot evil girls thrive (sic)”

The “Boom Clap” singer attacked the then-president of the Recording Academy in 2018 for supporting the lack of female presence at the Grammys.

The number-one artist moved to Twitter to express her ire at Neil Portnow, who had previously discussed the dearth of female contenders with Variety.

He explained: “It has to begin with … women who have the creativity in their hearts and souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level.

“(They need) to step up because I think they would be welcome.”

But some of the biggest names in the industry, like Charli, were incensed by his remarks.

During that time, the singer, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, tweeted: “Ugh bout 2 step up on to ur face.”

“Women are making AMAZING music right now wtf is this dude talking about ????? (sic)”

Pink was another of the big-name acts that addressed the issue.
