The Grammy’s have a history of excluding deserving artists and allowing favoritism to judge the decisions made. It’s important to call that out. What you said was valid

Sad to know that you had to come here to explain what you said before. I got it, it wasn’t personal, it’s all about favoritism and an inclusion process but sometimes we need to try hard to make people open their minds and read something carefully instead of just reacting.

Spill. The fact that artists ten times more popular than him and have nothing to lose at this point won’t speak about the racial bias is extremely disappointing. (This includes my own favs)
