After the tribute concluded, the web was abuzz with criticism after they seen Aaron was nowhere to be discovered within the efficiency – regardless of his profitable music profession! As we’ve reported, Nick Carter’s brother was discovered lifeless in his Lancaster, California dwelling in November. He was simply 34. An official explanation for dying has not but been revealed.
Whereas the singer by no means carried out on the Grammys and wasn’t nominated for an award, he noticed loads of success together with his hits like Aaron’s Get together (Come Get It), which got here in at #35 on the Billboard Prime 100 chart, and That’s How I Beat Shaq, which hit #98. That is precisely why many consider he was owed recognition through the present. Annoyed followers took to social media to name out the Recording Academy for this misstep, writing:
“Disgrace on the grammys 2023”

There may be one bit of excellent information. In response to Individuals, Aaron wasn’t fully forgotten. The Popstar lead was reportedly listed within the In Memoriam tribute of the bodily Grammys program on the ceremony. Nonetheless, this isn’t sufficient for his diehards — or his household!
On Sunday night time, TMZ spoke with Melanie Martin, the mom of Aaron’s 1-year-old son, Prince Lyric Carter, who revealed she was baffled by the obvious diss. In response to her, all of the Home of Carters alum ever needed was to be acknowledged for his music, so the actual fact the Grammys selected to not publicly acknowledge him felt like a slap to the face to his legacy and his son. Oof.
She’s so upset with the choice, she thinks the present must make it as much as Aaron somebody — and a easy apology received’t be sufficient. She’d like him to be honored in subsequent yr’s present or in another significant approach. Sadly, we doubt the Grammys are going to step as much as the plate (this wouldn’t be the primary time they confronted criticism for not acknowledging each fallen star), however hopefully, the outcry from followers helps Melanie and the Carter household really feel comforted understanding Aaron’s legacy will reside on. Ideas? Tell us (beneath).
