On the day of the Grammy nominations, many observers were surprised at the big look Justin Bieber and his Changes album and its singles received – four nominations, including Best Pop Solo Performance (for Yummy), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (Intentions, featuring Quavo), Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (for his feature on Dan + Shay's 10,000 Hours).
But on a day when such major R&B artistes as The Weeknd, Alicia Keys, Summer Walker and Kehlani were shut out of the Grammy nominations completely, Bieber took to Instagram to complain about being nominated in Pop categories instead of R&B.
