@alutas_theory said:

"Wait, did he submit? because yoooouuu said you can't nominate someone who doesn't submit, that year when you claimed no women submitted anything."

@tp_jumaar shared:

"Lol for the love of hip hop #SAHHA2022 is a joke for this "

@ErronYaeger posted:

"This category should be changed to accommodate African musicians only because right now it has zero credibility and makes a mockery of the awards. Take yourselves seriously."

@joyofsaint1 replied:

"This is why we don’t take you seriously."

@BeccaRannzwa commented:

"Does he know he won an award?? does he even know he was nominated? "

"You can easily nominate other African artists in this category instead of making it about American artists. This category really needs to be reworked by your team."

@UTD_1523 also wrote:

"Mxm why couldn't you give it to someone like Dax who would have appreciated that award so much instead you gave it to someone who doesn't even know he's nominated."

@IntractiveRisen added:

"They want attention. Groupie tendencies."
