Muni Long's 'Made For Me' Misses Chance for Grammy in 2025
Sing along: Twin! Where have you been? Nobody knows me like you do (nobody). Nobody gon' love me quite like you (nobody, yeah). Can't even deny it, every time I try it. One look in my eyes, you know I'm lying, lying! This viral hit, âMade For Meâ by Muni Long, is the stuff Grammy wins are made of, right? Wrong!Â
Apparently, this hit single will not see a Grammy Award win. According to the songâs producer, Jermaine Dupri, âMade For Meâ is not eligible for the 2025 Grammys because it was submitted for the 2024 Grammys this year. âYou know how crazy that is!?â Dupri asked on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He continued, âThe likelihood of me and Bryan [Michael Cox] producing another song of this magnitude might not ever happen again!â
Aww, donât sell yourself short, Jermaine! With hits like Mariah Careyâs âHoneyâ and âWe Belong Together,â Usherâs âYou Make Me Wannaâ or âMy Boo,â itâs clear the hits are hitting!Â
Fans and colleagues were in the comments of Dupriâs post and offered workarounds for his Grammy situation. Many suggested Dupri put out the âMade For Meâ Soul Train live version.Â
The Grammys have historically played in the faces of deserving artists for decades. Many popular songs have been snubbed by the recording academy, like âLetâs Get It Onâ by Marvin Gaye, âCall Me Maybeâ by Carly Rae Jepsen, âI Want To Hold Your Handâ and âHey Judeâ by The Beatles and âDespacitoâ by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber to name a few.Â
And not to mention BeyoncĂ© consistently being snubbed for album of the year four times! Even her husband, Jay Z, who won the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 66th Grammy Awards, couldnât seal his lips when it came to taking the recording academy to task. During his acceptance speech, with daughter Blue Ivy by his side, Jay said, âShe has more Grammys than everybody and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics that doesnât work. Think about that.â
Jay said it best, âWe want yâall to get it right.â
