Fans had no part of Aaron Carter’s exclusion from the “In Memoriam” segment of the 2023 Grammy Awards.
The long segment, dedicated to honoring singers who died in the previous year, saw the faces of those in the music industry who passed in the calendar year displayed on the Grammys screen on Sunday, February 5.
Those honored are Loretta Lynn, Takeoff, Lisa Marie Presley, Christine McVie, DJ Stephen “Twitch” Boss, Jeff Beck, Olivia Newton-John, Coolio, David Crosby, Naomi Judd, and more.
However, Carter’s face was conspicuously absent from the onstage tribute as musical powerhouses Quavo, Kacey Musgraves, Mick Fleetwood, Sheryl Crow, and Bonnie Raitt gave emotional performances in respect of those who died.
Fans Express Outrage At Recording Academy For Rejecting Aaron Carter During His In Memoriam Segment
Months after Carter was found in her bathtub on November 5, 2022, fans are fighting for her to be recognized by Grammy Awards organizers. Although the late 34-year-old was listed under the memory section in the physical copy of the Grammys program, it was not enough for his fans.

A disgruntled fan tweeted, “What about Aaron Carter why wasn’t he mentioned in memoriam at the Grammys that makes no sense.” Another wants understand why Carter was excluded given that “he completely changed the game of teen pop music, broke so many records, and really paved the way for so many young pop stars to follow him.”
Third person shared that while they loved Quavo’s moving performance for Departure, Carter “deserves to be in #inmemoriam.” Along with a picture of the late singer, the fourth person tweeted:
“Since the Grammys chose not to [to] include a photo of Aaron Carter paying tribute to the late singer. I’m just going to post my own mini tribute because that’s so sad. Rest In Peace Aaron Carter #Grammys2023.”
The fifth person who is not satisfied recorded that it was “really awful” for the Recording Academy to leave the “Oh Aaron” singer out because “No matter how you feel about AC, he made a big mark in the business at such a young age.”
Sixth Twitter user expressed anger that Carter was left out of the ” @RecordingAcad GRAMMYs in memoriam roll,” while the seventh sneer, “How dare @RecordingAcad forget to include @aaroncarter with musicians who died this year. That made me very upset. I always miss you #Aaroncarter.”
According to the awards website, which also includes Carter’s name, the in memoriam list honors “artists and industry professionals lost to the music community from January 1, 2022, to December 6, 2022.”
The website notes that while the 2022 GRAMMYs featured an In Memoriam segment highlighting “some of these individuals through video tributes,” all those who died before their “print date are included in the official GRAMMYs 2023 program book.”

Last month, The Blast reported that Aaron’s mother, Jane, and his fiancée Melanie Martin believed the “That’s How I Beat Shaq” singer died of a possible drug overdose rather than drowning.
While they await the coroner’s toxicology report that will determine exactly what was in his body when he died, the two were allegedly informed that no water was found in Aaron’s lungs by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
That statement had successfully eliminated drowning as a potential cause of death, prompting Jane to ask for more answers. In fact, previous reports claimed that the late singer’s mother wanted law enforcement officers to launch an investigation into the possible occurrence of a drug transaction on the night of his death.
Jane and Martin’s suspicions about the true cause of Aaron’s death began after they reportedly discovered a string of text messages between his late lover and a stranger.
The unnamed individual told Aaron he owed $800 for an unknown material, which the “Don’t Say Goodbye” artist refused, claiming he no longer needed it. That didn’t stop the person on the other side from insisting that the former teen pop star owed him the aforementioned money.
The conversation ends when Aaron asks if he was threatened. Armed with the text exchange, Martin, who shares a son, Prince, with Aaron, met with investigators earlier last month.
