XXXTentacion, who was shot to death in June 2018, was rejected from the Grammys' in memoriam segment on Sunday night. According to a source, representatives for the late rapper requested repeatedly that the Recording Academy recognize the artist, whose "Sad!" was one of the most consumed songs of 2018. But because of the rapper's history of domestic violence, the show opted not to include him alongside such acts as Avicii and Mac Miller.
This is causing a pretty big stir on social media as xxx was one of the highest profile artists who died last year. How do you feel about this?
