Voter fatigue didn’t really hurt Beyonce as she’d only won ONCE in the general category before this year (2009 for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) good ole fashion racism and a dearth of voters within the R&B/Hip Hop sector is what hurt Beyonce. Its no surprise that in 2014 when Macklemore beat Kendrick for Best Rap Album the outcry led to initiatives by the Recording Academy to get a more diverse array of artists, producers, and musicians to join the academy as voters. Also they finally did away with the general field selection committee after The Weeknd publicly called them out in 2021. These factors slowly led to positive changes (Childish Gambino becoming the first rapper the win SOTY and ROTY. Nas winning his first Grammy. Killer Mike winning Best Rap Album. A special Grammy named in honor of Dr Dre) that culminated in Beyonce and Kendrick’s historic general field victories earlier this year.

Don't disagree with any of what you're saying especially about the racism but I wasn't talking about the only the general field and talking about fatigue impacting ANY Grammy wins that would add to his total.

Basically I'm saying he's shown to be a cut above in quality for any awards he's typically nominated for and as long as there's no heartburn with him continuing to grace the Grammy winner's circle he should have a good chance at getting the overall record eventually.
