Come on! She should be allowed to enter the awards! she's been living in Britain since she was 5 years old! 😡🙁 She's literally British!

I know! especially since she's been in the country for so long and only goes back to Japan for holidays, etc. I think it's because duel citizenship is not allowed anymore, which completely sucks.

Because she is more than 23 years old that’s why

Honestly, fuck the BRITS! They'll scrap all of the gender specific categories just to pander to Sam Smith but when a woman of colour wants to be recognised as part of the country and culture she was raised in, that's a no go? That's performative activism at it's most blatant, they only care to be 'inclusive' when the person has reached a certain level of fame...
