Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. responds to BTS’ decision to not submit their music for the 2027 awards, following the introduction of an Asian-focused category:
“I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year, but as a music creator, I understand and respect their decision. […] I do want to clarify something that seems to be getting lost in the conversation. The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia. The spirit of this new category is to shine a dedicated spotlight on these important artists. More categories mean more artists’ work is recognized. It’s never to divide, but to expand who is recognized by our 15,000 Grammy voters. I also want to be very clear: submitting music in a genre category such as Asian Pop, or Jazz or Country does not exclude an artist from also submitting and being considered in the General Field categories, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Those categories remain open to any eligible recording, regardless of genre. Recognition in a genre category and recognition in the General Field are not mutually exclusive. An artist can absolutely pursue both.”

black americans and black american artists have talked abt the grammys trying to force out of the main categories for years. africans including african artists have been complaining abt how these categories dont represent our music’s diversity for years. YOUUUU do not care.
U lowkey foolish for that bc u were fine with VMAs and AMAs when they pulled that stunt and even attended their shows but now u wanna draw the line when u got the biggest chances at an ALOTY nom😭😭 @BTS_twt
turning a blind eye to blatant racism and discrimination in exchange for a chance to win an award that’s meant to segregate asian acts from western ones, but it’s BTS who craves for western validation, right?
