the fact that if you’re a latino artist singing in portuguese you can’t even submit to the latin categories 😭 this is why trying to categorize music by its language is just stupid as fuck
me voy a re cagar de risa cuando entreguen ese premio en la previa del programa y los artistas que vayan nisiquiera vanna sentarse en las mesas de la ceremonia principal por que eso es exactamente lo que va a pasar y ustedes son los que van a venir a llorar xenofobia en Twitter
WDYM BONG REVILLA WALKED FREE AFTER POSTING JUST ₱1 MILLION BAIL IN A CASE INVOLVING ₱92.8 MILLION IN MALVERSATION?
THIS COUNTRY IS A JOKE. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. 🤡
ALSO, MR. BONG REVILLA, WAG KA SA PANGINOON MAGPASALAMAT. HIYA NA LANG. 😭
Notice BTS didn't insult them. They basically said they're done because of the difference in value and that's that. Meanwhile members of the RA are crashing out, insulting them and their work, and calling critics and the public names on social media.
I applaud @bts_bighit for rejecting the Recording Academy's attempt to shove them into a category for the Grammys.
The Grammys wanted to label BTS as "Asian pop." They said, No thanks. We're not 'Asian music.' We're pop. Put us in the main category.
GOOD. Enough with all the groups, labels, and categories. That's what caused all the controversy around The Odyssey. They had to check the Academy's boxes to be considered for an Oscar. These organizations can keep their awards if it means bowing to a system that puts arbitrary limits on artists.
After the Grammys announced a Best Asian Pop category, BTS announced they won't submit their album.
Will other artists follow their lead?

HYBE reportedly clarified that BTS' decision to not submit for this year's Grammys was not part of a label-wide boycott.
The company said other HYBE artists will continue submitting their work individually, while BTS chose not to submit after careful deliberation, saying the decision was made to "protect the status and pride of the kpop industry as a whole."
