I’ve just donated to UN Women who work to prevent violence against women worldwide. Please let us be the best of what we can be, let the conversation be about this, I would rather try to inspire change than drown in unproductive disappointment

Following BTS' decision about grammys, Nigerian media outlet YNaija urges artists of color to stand together:
"This is a time for solidarity among artists who are not from the U.S, to boycott the Grammys until their artistry is recognised beyond their continent."
[NEWS] Three time Grammy winner Indian musician Ricky Kej speaks about the Grammys, BTS and the Illusion of Inclusion
“By creating geographically bounded categories like “Best Asian Pop” or “Best African Music Performance,” we aren’t fully integrating world music into the main stage and risk excluding diverse regions from the historically prestigious categories that carry the most weight. It inadvertently sends a message that international excellence is celebrated primarily within a designated corner”
"Another fundamental issue is that “global diversity” is still frequently viewed through an American-centric lens, focusing primarily on the vibrant diaspora within the U.S."

"The addition of these new grammy categories is not progress; it is tokenistic inclusion that dresses up white bias as recognition."
— Teen Vogue on the Grammys' new Best Asian Pop Music category.

"An out-of-touch Grammy voter who is unfamiliar with K-pop's influence can feel satisfied in voting for BTS for Best Asian Pop and never have to think seriously about Arirang for Album of the Year." — Teen Vogue

Namjoon giving shoutout to Nas who is at the concert today !!!
"Personally I wanted to give shout out to the artist who had dominated my whole teenage life. Here in New York Big Nas is here tonight."
"it is really wonderful feeling to be able to perform in infront of your teenage idol"
I really hope on the night of the grammys that army gives literally ZERO attention to it. No trending hashtags, no posts, and certainly no fan wars over whichever Asian act wins a grammy.
Can we all just agree to do a streaming party and give the grammys the silent treatment??
LETS TREND THIS

We hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.
