The Canadian singer's third album Believe has been a huge hit since its release in June, selling over a million copies and spawning the number two single Boyfriend in the US.
However, his manager Scooter Braun took to Twitter to express his anger after the singer was subbed from the Grammy Awards.
In a series of tweets, Scooter expressed his disbelief in the Grammy Awards, and stated why Justin did deserve to be nominated for a Grammy:
second....this time there wont be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one

Scooter did praise Carly Rae Jepsen - another of the artists he manages - after she scored two nominations; Song of the Year for her huge single Call Me Maybe and for Best Pop Solo Performance.
Carly was excited about her nods, tweeting:
Over the moon excited. Two @thegrammys nominations!!! Extremely thankful. <3
