The nominees included Flo-Rida, PSY, Kanye West and Macklemore.

Many people in Twitterland questioned PSY’s inclusion in the Hip Hop category.

Comedian Lil’ Duval defended PSY and their viral hit song “Gangnam Style” being in the Hip Hop category.

“Psy is hip hop. Worldwide hip hop. Stop stunting our growth. Be happy it went from the Bronx to Korea,” he wrote.



Twitter user @realjoshyb called “Gangnam Style” a Pop song.

Lil’ Duval went on to explain what Pop music means.

Ahhhh pop means POPular RT ‪@realjoshyb: ‪@lilduval that’s pop music it ain’t hip hop



Lil’ Duval further explained PSY is rapping in his native tongue.
