However, Twitter users have expressed their disappointment in the Recording Academy for giving the most nomination to Jon Batiste.
“Now y’all about to piss me off with this “visibility” BS. Normani is visible. Wild Side was everywhere. H.E.R. and Jon Batiste are the most nominated artist this year. Now be quick and tell me 3 songs they dropped this year…EXACTLY! It’s not about visibility it’s about politics,” a user said.
Another user asked: “no offense but who?”
