With only days until the award show, Dugan filed an explosive discrimination complaint against the academy Tuesday alleging unlawful gender discrimination, sexual harassment, unlawful retaliation and unequal pay.
The Recording Academy stated Dugan's allegations about the voting processes are"utterly untrue," adding the academy has"rigorous and well-publicized" protocols for ensuring fair voting., who died in November 2018 of pneumonia."I met Kim Porter 'cause Kim was the receptionist at Uptown. So that's how far back we go," Diddy said.Just this week, he posted a picture of Porter on Instagram with a powerful caption.
As for other celebrity sightings: Among the crowd, Avril Lavigne and Paula Abdul chatted and embraced, Trevor Noah and Billy Porter posed for a photo and Broadway’s Darren Criss and Warren hugged. On the red carpet before the show, Jessie J and Channing Tatum held hands.Contributing: Maria Puente, Andrea Mandell and Sara Moniuszko, USA TODAY; Associated Press
That's because most hip-hop is garbage...and barely music...
But yet keep going. And going and going..........
Is Hip-Hop music?
Who votes and how are the votes conducted ? Is it by popularity, sales ect I picture a rapper watching the source awards and not the grammy... consistently
I'll just leave this here.
USA Today is racist!
And it really shouldn’t be. It has some musical merits, but many performers sing with the aid of technologies like auto-tune. If you can’t do it right yourself, you shouldn’t be celebrated for it. It’s degrading, and is getting to sound all the same now.
U are only a representative of your investor group voting population that's it
UHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM maybe because its trash music to begin with !!!!! I mean seriously, you cant even understand the words or what they are singing half the time!!! And if the females thinks they look like something, they do all right-- SLUTS !!!
Why does everything have to be about race these days?
Oh jeez.... not again..
It could be because of some of the lyrics are horrid and or the fact the videos are soft porn. Cant pinpoint the exact reason 😹
I’m tired
Are they wanting an attendance ribbon or something? Life is not fair. Get over it.
Curious,how many white singers have received awards from black music industry ?
Because the white man has rigged this game!
But the white music industry sure loves to copy Black music so it can make billions. Elvis, Adele, Post Malone, Justin Timberfake, Lady Gaga, etc. are all examples. And, the Grammys love to award the copycats. I say eff the Grammys. And, we start our own music award an show.
Is his name still Diddy?
Maybe you gotta look at who listens to it.
Not sure why we keep fabricating these diversity issues. Come together people.
Guess that depends on where 1 lives. “Soul Train” was on the air about as long as Dick Clark’s”American Bandstand” I grew up with Motown, loved Fats Waller, & Domino. The Platters, Mills Brothers, Coasters, & Ink Spots. I understand that the music they did was geared 2 sell 2
Isn’t getting fabulously wealthy from selling music enough? It’s a beautiful thing. We live in a wonderful time of extraordinary wealth and prosperity.
Fine, start a Black Grammy's! Run it on BET so it can be completely removed from the mainsteam!
Don't pay any attention to this idiot! He hasn't a clue as to what he is talking about. The world doesn't evolve around rap in the world outside of NY and LA.
All award shows are popularity contests, of course I’m the last one you should listen to, haven’t watched them for years.
