Hmmmmm🙄🙄🫩👀👀 She spilled facts 👀

This is so true. I watched Layover by V, which is straight up R&B and jazz, get miscategorized as Kpop because Kim Taehyung is Korean. That album is the farthest thing from Kpop. I challenge everyone to listen and see how wrong it is for a well curated album to be placed in the wrong category because of the region or language.

The Asian category wasn't created because of KDH. It might have the name "k-pop"in it but it is still American. They rushed to create this category because Arirang is way too successful to ignore but they did not want it in the main categories. And it shows it was a rush job.

Its like a hiring manager puting an equal opportunity clause in their job posting but only actually interviewing white people

They even did it to jb. They pushed it into pop even though it was r&b. His words not mine.

I think BTS was completely right to make this decision. Music should not be put into a box. It transcends language, geography, age and culture. It is universal. Artists want to compete on basis of equality.

It feels like they created the Asian category as a consolation prize for BTS. They know BTS brings ratings, attention, and engagement, so instead of giving them a fair shot at the major categories, it feels like they're just throwing them crumbs.

The fact it happened to Kacey Musgraves too 🤯 I knew they did this to Tyler the Creator and Justin Bieber

So even if they did submit their album in a general category, scammys could move it to the Asian category?? This proves so many points

All I heard is that I don’t have to watch the Grammys this year. BTS are not going to be there anyway.

She's echoing whatever was already in the conversation. Yall can't speak about this and acknowledge GOLDEN, as kpop song. Don't start with that coversation again. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

How are you going to tell artists what THEIR genre is. It’s bullshxt and indeed is division, a form of segregation if we really wanna talk about it. Beyoncé knew exactly what was happening I’m glad she spoke on it

@alex_halcyon BTS are 100% right I’m so glad they were transparent with their statement and I’m standing behind them 100%. The Grammys doesn’t define how talented someone is. It’s just an award just like any other award show trophy

The Grammys like most award shows are irrelevant.

If they wanted to compete with just asians they would just go to MAMA, Grammys…it’s not diversity…it’s a box…

Beyonce is shocked getting a Grammy? Lmao!

See and search the explanation of Tyler the Creator. He well described what Grammys has done to him. Its truly a reflection of what GYM is!

Who needs the grammys anyway....BTS doesn't need them or their validation that they're the best....💜💜💜💜

they didn't fcking changed it for kdh be so fcking serious rn

Boohoo Korea does the same to non-Koreans and have also switched up rules to favor Korean acts 🥱

The Grammies are symptomatic of the us music industry. They are afraid of people who do not speak English and People of Asian heritage. How can you put music together by geography. So no one in England does pop. Asian is a region not music genre.

Music is music, regardless of the language.

KPop Demon Hunters won because it was a Netflix musical and the music was by a non-Asian who had been in Hollywood for decades! Let’s be honest- these racists would never have given the same recognition if the music had been scored by an Asian!!!

💯

WTF bts Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Guys as Army family. Next goal to shut the Grammys completely. What are these stupid changes!

I think creating categories based on genre still makes sense compared to those based on country and language, but it turns out that in genre categorization there are many bad things that happen and be experienced by many artists. So, where is granny's electability now? :"

I stand with BTS decision....must re watch BTS comeback on Netflix on the same day Grammy next year 😁

2/2 ..seen. Who knew BTS isn’t nominated for other category? Are all cats announced already? It is Asian, does Grammy call BTS to submit, or that was just assumption? Thought that was voluntary. If BTS didn’t like to, let others have it. Why make it all abt BTS only? Just asking.

Not just Tracy. Justin, Tyler the Creator & Tyla have all played musical chairs. And now there's a new rule where you can't get nommed for 2 awards of the same type. So, if Beyoncé would submit in 2027, she could for both Best Album & Best Country Album, but only get nommed in 1.

Beyonce never should have won for best country album. It just festers the belief that Jay Z is an evil m-effer that is controlling everything which is how HE isn't in jail with Diddy right now.

@berealinlife7 Do you have the link to this please?

1/2 I get it that BTS is currently the most famous Korean pop artist for a while, but they are still Korean. That’s a great representation. I still understand Grammy w/ the intent to recognize diversity, & I’m not sure they only capitalize on BTS, maybe intent to make others…
