To shake Ken Ehrlich’s hand is to know that you are no more than two degrees of separation from just about any living pop, rock, R&B, country, hip-hop or gospel musician of note — and more than a few who are no longer with us. They, or at least someone close to them, have all [...]Ariana Grande was sued on Thursday by a hip-hop artist who claims she ripped off the chorus of his song for her hit “7 Rings.” Josh Stone, who performs as DOT, wrote and recorded “You Need I Got It” in 2017.

Prior to being let go there were no complaints...now the whole damn thing is fraudulent!!!!

Explains why no BTS nominations

Why do they only speak when they are “no longer” in the club. She was complicit in the charade until it was jo longer beneficial to her. Shame on her!

shookitoff this explains it

Girl bye 👋🏻!!! Come on !!

Believe it!! All the award shows are rigged!! They take the bribes and make it happen...

Funny that Dugan was put on 'admin. leave' 4 some bogus allegations AFTER she exposed RecordingAcad 4 rigged practices & it being a 'boys club'. Anyway, viewers could tell it's a rigged, 'boys club' by who keeps winning (1 of many reasons I stopped watching least 20 yrs. ago).

Hasn’t everyone in the game said it?! Jayz Eminem Nicki Minaj. When Bruno won! I mean if RetardiB winning doesn’t speak volumes, this does? Okay

The Grammys are RIGGED? The HELL you say! It's an industry whose goal is to make money driving listeners to certain music. Why in the world would anyone be surprised that everything going on behind the scenes is set up to promote certain songs? The public laps it up like milk.

Yawn

CorruptionInHollywood

Oh my Democrat Hollywood cheating? Say it ain’t so! 😂 Shocking!

She's writing the book on how to make yourself unemployable.

Is it because she's suspended that she decided to tell?

It’s Hollywood, it’s all fake!

Funny how they got another female (allegedly) to file the complaint! Just attempting to neutralize Dugan. Pathetic and shameful. My guess is Dugan emerges intact from this with the truth on her side.

Peopel still like the Grammy Awards, or any Awards show (movies, music tv, sports, etc.) for that matter. Grammys

We Jamaicans knew this a long time ago....ANY MARLEY that has been nominated has always won bcus of that ONE MARLEY that sits on the board...we dont expect Koffee to win this yr BCUS ANOTHER MARLEY was nominated...this isnt news to us...IJS

exhoopsPRguy Stopped watching the Grammys and other ‘award’ shows 10+ years ago; overhyped and out of touch.😏

Nicki told us already. Periodt

Ya I bet twitter! The female in the music industry is behaving bad?

Who cares.🤡

While People Are Praising Her For Exposing The Grammys, You Gotta Ask Yourself. Why Speak Up Now? She Stayed Quiet Until It Didn't Benefit Her Anymore.

Just like the Oscars ...awards mean nothing. We knew all along...especially when U2 beat Prince Sign O Times to album of the year!

On hearing the news that the Grammys are rigged. RecordingAcad

The Grammys... Rigged...?

So because your fired you talking but you was part of the coverup prior. Ma’am gone

Good for her she telling the truth any body with a brain can see the Grammys are corrupt like the whole music business and all these other shows that all have the same corny kids wining for garbage music over and over sad get rid of them all

Obviously not a rock n roll boys club because that had been ignored for years.

So who wasn’t supposed to be nominated for last years song of the year? Was it Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper, or Brandi Carlile, or Drake, or Kendrick Lamar and SZA, or Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey, or Childish Gambino, or Shawn Mendes, or Ella Mai?

All the Award shows are rigged just look at the winners and nominees. I wonder how much a Grammy award cost? All well, I quit watching a long time ago they got to political.

im shocked! Hahaha this award show is boring!

It's rigged after they fired her

Macklemore finally got her lol

The truth if you want to read it

A lot of bad stuff is coming out about Hollywood.

She should Not have been suspended!! NotFair Boo DeborahDugan GiveHerJobBackDeborahDugan

She left out how racist the entire industry is . We had to make hits without awards all these years and music everyone loves and enjoyed that never one a grammy for some odd reason?

Burn the system down.

Queen

Zero problem seeing her be harassing

This is why the Grammys, Oscars, and all in that category are a complete joke. Who the hell cares about these awards

Dark to light.

Now she wanna tell💁🏽‍♀️‼️

Eminem already told us bout this a few times

The Grammys? Rigged?

Most of the awards shows lately have been overly female...i thought they were taking over the world....aren’t they?

Yes Grammys conduit of patriarchy....never honored never closet case to fame award winning trans singer Bralalalala ...new albums with Megadeth drummer banned by transphobic record labels who seek “dirt” instead with Motley Crue, “hits” from R Kelly and so on .

All was good while she was employed. Lol

They got another Stockholm Syndrome female with a promise of a quid pro quo to set forth a complaint against her so it didn't look like the 'boys club' where attacking her...so obvious this happens in every workplace I bet that same female urged her to to send the email too 👀👀

Me being shocked

Why is this news? Everyone knew this already 🤷‍♂️

MeToo and other Women’s groups are about to help her get her job back and clean up the mess. Let’s go.

Who cares 🤷‍♂️ I’m sure they can do whatever they want

Watch them do a major reversal at the next Grammys to prove her wrong. But that may be the right thing to do.

Let’s go... I’ll start. Boycott2020Grammys

jcapaldis Hmm 🤔 a woman being accused of « something » , removed & replaces by a man after stating that major changes were coming just 6 months ago? Shady!

Academy, y’all better have already decided to give Lana her damn GRAMMY !! She deserved it like 6 years ago, but y’all just stay sleeping 😒

Screw all the awards! They are mostly rigged! 😡😡😡

Everything happening in politics now - already happened in Media Arts + Culture ; GentrificationOfCulture™ WhatsInYourIndie™🎬🎶 ? SupportArtists CaliLiliIndies™ TruliIndie™ authenticity MeToo SupportTheARTSustainTheARTiST™

She’s just finding this out?

This sounds really similar to what happened to Papa John.

And yet, the masses of sheep will continue to tune in and support the movie industry lol

The Grammys are rigged

Why is any musician showing up to this charade this year? We’ve always known it was a joke but this proves that the process is corrupt, which explains so many bogus nominations. This year’s nominees clearly do not represent the best.

The Grammys, Rigged?!?!? Water is..........................wet?!?!?!?!

Please tell us the reason why bts was not nominated to get an award?

I believe most women are lying 🤥

We should be grateful she’s chosen to step forward

It is best for her to resign.

So does this mean Lana is gonna be screwed AGAIN

So her problem is really with another woman.

I don’t watch the Grammy The only reason they decided to do the Nipsey (RIP) thing is because they THINK that’ll bring black viewers Love me some Nipsey but even he know it’s bullshii

Cat fight

I'm guessing it's over more than the underground garage access malfunction last month.
