Diddy Slams Recording Academy: ‘Black Music Has Never Been Respected by the Grammys’

Sean “Diddy” Combs slammed the Recording Academy before a star-studded crowd at the annual Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala on Saturday night, saying that hip-hop and black music have “never been respected by the Grammys,” ironically as he accepted his award as the 2020 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoree at the Beverly Hilton hotel in [...

It wasn’t the reunion he’d hope for, but Aerosmith reunited with estranged drummer Joey Kramer onstage at the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year ceremony award on Friday night at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Kramer did not perform with the group for its four-song set, but joined his longtime bandmates at the [...

JerrEsma Diddy Michael Jackson learnt that the hard way.

BLKLiberation84 Diddy And he is correct. White people steals everything from us.

Diddy Pulling the black card.. smh..

BLKLiberation84 Diddy Welp.....I'm going to enjoy his a$$ whooping, getting uppity, to big for his britches....just gone sit right here and wait for it because the black celebrities are rich, not wealthy, it's a difference, all black men that don't stand up for other black men, I have no respect!

Diddy its pathetic that black people crave the validation of whites so much so. They all whine and complain when they aren't patted on the head by whites. All it does is reafirm blacks as the inferior race seeking validation from the superior race.

Diddy Ummm!!! Let's just say music has a skin tone for Grammy! And if you fall on the wrong end of *cough* Caucasian *cough* shade card, Grammy becomes blind! Melanin are too powerful to visualize, you see!

Diddy There is a reason for that

Diddy Diddy dedicated his award to MichaelJackson and OffTheWall, Prince and 1999. Eat it. AmplifyMJ ❤️

Diddy “Diddy Dedicates Award to Michael Jackson and Prince” 👌🏿

Diddy variety, ignoring public support of Jackson by other well known and respected artists ain't gonna make those allegations any less fake y'know.

Diddy omg

Diddy He’s not lying

Diddy Genres have never been respected at the Grammys. When rock was on top of the world; Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Queen, none of them won Grammys. The Grammys have always mainly awarded 'popular music'. Maybe ask for one of Stevie Wonder's 5,000 Grammys.

Diddy Yeah

Diddy Never been respected by you either so don’t even bother with that shit.

Diddy He's right! The Grammys have removed 11 R&B/rap categories

Diddy He's still pissed he didnt win a grammy for this:

Diddy 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Diddy Have the balls to mention what he said about MJ.

Diddy So you’re just going to skip the part where he went on about the importance of Michael Jackson & Thriller and dedicated his award to him and Prince? Okay..

Diddy They only Respect it when Justin Timberlake or Miley Cyrus are Stealing it 😑

Diddy This argument doesn't hold up when you compare it to the amount of GRAMMYS people of color have won throughout the years. This year alone, Lizzo is the most nominated artist

Diddy

Diddy Nothing but facts 💯💯

Diddy Come on Sean.
