Snub: Justin Bieber’s Believe and Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded were passed over for Best Pop Vocal Album. Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, took to Twitter to defend his client. “I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one.” Bieber’s My World 2.0 was nominated in this category two years ago. Minaj’s Pink Friday was nominated for Best Rap Album last year. She was moved over to the pop field this year to reflect the fact that many now view her as primarily a pop artist. (The two stars team for a current top 15 hit, "Beauty And A Beat.")
