JAKARTA - Protests against the 2021 Grammy Awards nominations are still ongoing. After The Weeknd singer asked for transparency, now Justin Bieber has also complained about the 2021 Grammy Awards nominations.

Through his personal Instagram account, Bieber does not accept that his music is included in the 'pop' category. It is known that the Yummy song was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and the song Intentions with Quavo entered the Best Pop / Duo Group Performance.

"For Grammys I am grateful to be appreciated for my artwork. I am very thorough about my music. Because of this, I decided to make an R&B album," he said in the writing.

"Changes is an R&B album. I find it strange to see that it is not included in an R&B album. I grew up liking R&B music and wished I could make music that contained that genre."

According to Hailey Baldwin's husband, the Changes album has a very clear R&B element. Starting from hip hop tones to the use of vocals that Bieber sang.

"To be clear, I like pop music but it's just that this album is not for that genre. My gratitude for my work is appreciated and I am grateful to be included in the nomination," he said closing the upload.

Justin Bieber also included the caption, "It's not that I don't mean to be grateful, this is just my opinion so take it or leave it. Thank you to the people who fought for me for this nomination."

The responses of the citizens began to get mixed up. Apart from providing support, not a few people feel Changes is more in line with the pop genre.

"Not disrespectful but Changes is more pop while Journals is more R&B," wrote one Instagram user mentioning Justin Bieber's other album.

"Isn't it your label that categorized the submission?"

"Justin sorry but Changes isn't R&B ... Some of the songs might sound like that. I appreciate this album but making love songs slow doesn't mean it's R&B."

The Grammy Awards have not responded to Justin Bieber's statement.
