@_BTSMoments Turning off comments and deleting your reel is pure panic. Erasing your own media to hide from backlash is just as unprofessional as wiping BTS’s YT stages hours after they left. You wouldn't have to panic and hide the evidence if it's truly about diversity. @RecordingAcad

@amlysbang By ignoring BTS, they erase the history of who actually built the foundation. You cannot genuinely celebrate the global and monetary impact of Korean music while completely blanking out the very group that paved the way for it.@RecordingAcad

@RollingStone •Fear:Executive backlash can ruin Western careers
•No freedom:Agencies control Grammy submissions
•Want to win:Other acts only stand a chance because BTS walked away
•The Catch:critics will argue the winner didn't have to face the toughest competition @RecordingAcad

@coma_chi Claiming there's no discrimination at the Grammys when you just joined a few weeks ago & haven't even voted yet is wild.Your independent niche doesn't face the gatekeeping of the global pop market. 7 yrs Academy veterans ,BTS ,know the systemic hurdles far better than a newcomer.

@Forbes The Grammy 'Asian Pop' controversy hits harder when you know the CEO used to make tracks for SM. Creating a separate room just to exploit global fandoms while shielding Western monopolies? An Asian Grammy? seriously? Seperate is not equal. @RecordingAcad

[ME+ @Ksdj612]

@ComplexMusic He is using clever phrasing to deflect criticism. By forcing global artists to choose between standard Pop & an Asian Pop side lane, the Grammys are treating Western music as the universal default & everyone else as a regional sub-genre.@bts_bighit @RecordingAcad @HarveyMasonjr

@chartradar_ So, next will be ....
The Asian Recording Academy?
The African Recording Academy?
Best Asian Song?
Best African Song?

@TheePopCore Quietly scrubbing historic performances from YT right after the BTS statement? If this is a strategic shift, it’s incredibly bad timing to do so.
@HarveyMasonjr @RecordingAcad,erasing music history right now only deepens the rift. Fans deserve transparency.

[ME+ @Ksdj612]

@Variety In reality, a separate category acts as a holding pen, not a stepping stone. While the rules say both are possible, voter behavior ensures that once global artists are given a side stage, they are quietly left off the main stage

@jinsmeraldo23 @RecordingAcad is it due to standard broadcast licensing expirations? If so, bad timing! Well, we can watch on BANGTANTV, let's get it higher!

@Genius When a dominant, chart-topping artist intentionally sits out an awards cycle, it changes the entire narrative of the competition.
@RecordingAcad @bts_bighit

[ME+ @Ksdj612]

@Variety "In past few years,@RecordingAcad have struggled with television ratings & BTS has historically been one of the most reliable audience draws. Without BTS on the stage the broadcast losses it's most passionate & active global demographic."
