On this petition we are asking you to help get triple x eligible and nominated for Best New Artist at this upcoming Grammy awards.One possible reason for XXXTentacion being ruled ineligible is because his breakthrough debut 17 was released in August 2017 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart on September 16. The nomination eligibility period lasts from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018.
