The ‘Starboy’ was watching ‘Blinding Lights’ when none of his top characters from the album ‘After Hours’ received recognition from the recording academy during the November nomination.

Halsey, 26, blew up and inflated and blew up ‘bribes’. The recording academy’s shadow was shadow in 2019 when her ‘Manic’ masterpiece could not win any honor.

‘The Grammys are an elusive process’, regrets the song ‘You Should Be Sad’ in a long Instagram story.

‘It can often be about private performances behind the scenes, getting to know the right people, running a campaign through the vine, with the right handshakes and’ bribes’ that can only be ambiguous enough to be considered ‘non-bribery’. to go. ‘

Reps for the Recording Academy did not respond to The Posts’ requests to comment on Halsey’s allegations.

Bieber could not religious this when his anthology “Changes” which sells platinum deserves a nod for the best pop-vocal album rather than the best R&B album.

‘Changes was and is an R&B album,’ the 27-year-old Canadian singer whispered on Instagram after receiving his four nominations for this year’s ceremonies. “It is not recognized as an R&B album that is very strange to me.”

While being ‘flattered’ by the recognition of the Recording Academy, Bieber went on to say: ‘Not to put it in the category feels weird, from the chords to the melodies to the vocal style to the chosen hip-hop. drum. undeniably, unmistakably an R&B album! ”

The Biebs were apparently so bothered by the misclassification of his album that he eventually chose to boycott the awards together.

The ‘Queen’ crooner from Queens called the Grammys because they had not bowed down to her musical skills since day 1.

‘Never forget that the Grammys did not give me the best award for new artists when I had 7 songs on the billboard at the same time and the first week was bigger than any female rapper in the last decade. It has inspired a generation. They gave it to the white man Bon Iver, ”Minaj (38) tweeted after the Recording Academy chose its 2021 choices for praise.

Although the “Tusa” rhymer has been nominated for 10 Grammys since 2011, she has never taken home one small gilded gramophone.

How dirty does one have to be to urinate on a Grammy? Apparently a lot.

Amid his presidential campaign in 2020, West (43) directed at the Recording Academy in one of his most notorious digital appearances. After the Chicago resident plunged one of his 21 Grammies into a toilet, he peed the trophy and shared a picture of the disrespectful act on Twitter in September.

Fellow hip-hop icon TV star LL Cool J has asked West to disregard his Grammys, recommending that he rather “Piss in a Yeezy”.

The “Stronger” employee’s since-deleted liquid reprimand of the awards was among a variety of tweets that base the music industry on subjecting black artists to unfair treatment.

Reps for the Recording Academy did not respond to The Posts’ requests to comment on Minaj and West’s allegations of racial inequality in the nomination process and the industry as a whole.

The right tear-jerker

Nevertheless, researchers call out the fact that women make up less than 3 percent of all music producers and engineers – despite the great pressure on the Recording Academy for gender equality in the industry.

“Women were generally 2.6% of producers in 600 songs, according to the authors of a recent study by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. Their findings were spelled out in published tweets through the Initiative’s verified Twitter account Monday.

The Recording Academy launched its Women in the Mix Pledge in 2019 as an effort to welcome more female music masters into the studio. The call to action has brought together artists, label managers and other producers to consider at least two women in the hiring process to make a song.

However, the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative has found that the academy’s efforts are failing to generate a single card song produced by a woman in 2020.

The Recording Academy has begins to narrow the gender gap when it comes to issuing a nod for women in the top-5 categories: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Producer of the Year.

But the study noted that only 13.4 percent of women among all nominees were for the highly coveted awards during the past nine years.

Some may regard it as a weeping disgrace.
