As [I]Complex[/I] reports, the Recording Academy is being hit with significant backlash online for its troublesome tribute to the late Virgil Abloh. During the annual "In Memoriam" segment, the father of two was just one of the many famous faces remembered by audiences all over the world, although the description under his name failed to accurately describe all that Abloh encompassed in his all-too-short life.

Abloh also worked with mainstream brands like IKEA and Nike throughout his career after receiving a Master of Architecture degree from Illinois' Institute of Technology – and that was before he even entered the world of fashion.
