Alt Press reports that “people are confused” after a rap group called MIGOS won the Favorite Duo or Group Award in the pop/rock category at this year’s American Music Awards (AMAs).
“We did not know we was winning this at all,” the band said during the acceptance speech
Rock journalist and host Eddie Trunk wrote:
“So sick and tired of rock music being treated so cluelessly and disrespectfully by every mainstream awards show. It’s sickening, disgusting and offensive. AMAs took it to new lows last night. AMAs = American Pop & Hip Hop Awards. Fucking joke…”
MIGOS took the award by defeating the likes of Imagine Dragons and Maroon 5. You can check out some of the fan reactions below.

Really my biggest fucking issue with the @AMAs is the fact that they didn’t do their research to add enough rock bands in the mix for it to have its own category. Migos winning a Pop/Rock award ?!!!!!!!???!!! Why are pop/rock together??????

Am I missing something here? God's Plan nominated for best pop/rock song and Migos wins best pop/rock group. Huh? #AMAs
