The Recording Academy announced two months ago that at least 30 categories will be either eliminated or modified at next year’s Grammy Awards.
Some of those eliminations will be five R&B categories including Best R&B Female, Best R&B Male, Best Urban Alternative Performance, Best Contemporary R&B Album, and Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Many members of the urban music community are angered by the Academy’s decision.
