The Grammy Awards are making changes...

If you remember, Diddy called out The Grammy's for racism a few months back and knocked them for not understanding and respecting black music.

Now, after the George Floyd killing and protests, The Grammys are switching up some of their genres and award categories.

The Grammy Awards will no longer use the term “urban” in its awards and language and renamed numerous categories.

Best Urban Contemporary Album has been renamed Best Progressive R&B Album, Best Rap/Sung Performance has been renamed Best Melodic Rap Performance, Latin Pop Album has been renamed Latin Pop Or Urban Album and Latin Rock, and Urban Or Alternative has been renamed Latin Rock Or Alternative. 

Are you a fan of the changes?
