He spoke softly and measured his words, but he was on the attack, coolly drawing attention to the Academy’s longstanding bias against reggaeton.
“There is a history that dates back many years where our genre has been denigrated,” Balvin explained. “I don’t agree with [the Academy] using us for ratings,” he added.
