But there was outrage coming from some quarters because rapper Wretch 32 had not received a nomination (Click here to read all about it). Then the crew over at Jump Off UK aired their views on the matter. @JumpOffTVUK 2011 was a huge year for talent. We nominate 5 acts in each category. Other artists had more votes from the academy than Wretch — BRIT Awards (@BRITAwards) []
