John Legend says 'it’s almost impossible for a Black artist to win album of the year' at the Grammys. Is he right?
Diddy made his aforementioned comments on Jan. 25 when he accepted the Salute to Industry Icons Award at the Pre-Grammy Gala sponsored by Clive Davis and the Recording Academy. My colleague Gail Mitchell included a complete transcript of Diddy’s comments in her story that was published the following morning .
Here’s the key graph: “Truth be told, hip-hop has never been respected by the Grammys. Black music has never been respected by the Grammys to the point that it should be. So right now in this current situation, it’s not a revelation. This thing’s been going on. It’s not just going on in music. It’s going on in film, going on in sports and going on around the world. And for years we’ve allowed institutions that have never had our best interests at heart to judge us. And that stops right now.
