Controversy

The exclusion of urban entries in the Album, Record, and Song of the Year categories sparked controversy. Colombian singer, J. Balvin started the hashtag #SinReggaetónNoHayGrammyLatino’ (There is no Latin Grammy without Reggaeton) which was soon endorsed by other reggaeton artists such as Daddy Yankee, Becky G, Maite Perroni, Lali Esposito, Tini, Karol G, Natti Natasha, and Anuel AA. ^[11]
