Joss Stone has been named 'Reggae Artist of the Year' by US music publication Billboard, and some people aren't too happy about it.
The English woman released an album, 'Water for Your Soul', earlier this year and that was also named Reggae Album of the Year.
You may be thinking 'No big deal', right? Considering the artist that came in second place, however, some reggae aficionados are up in arms.
Stone beat Bob Marley and the Wailers' live album 'Easy Skanking in Boston '78' to second place, and even though she claimed that Marley's son Damian encouraged her to record 'Water for Your Soul' in the first place, some fans on Twitter are not happy.
How can Joss Stone beat the legendary @bobmarley for Album + Reggae Artiste of the year? @billboardbiz is taking the f_cking piss! Bollocks!
