Currently listening to: The Real Slim Shady – Eminem

Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records
Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!
You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can’t even stomach me, let alone stand me
“But Slim, what if you win, wouldn’t it be weird?”
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?

What’s a conspiracy theory you find oddly believable?

The Grammys is racially biased and corrupt.

Em telling it how it is…

This year, the Grammys created new categories:

• best asian pop music performance
• best latin song
• best r&b collab or duo/group performance
• best traditional pop vocal performance
• best traditional folk album

Many people feel like the asian category was made to place BTS in a box, slighting the group from other major general categories like record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, best pop duo/group performance, and best pop vocal album.

Would the Oscars have a category for “best asian actor” or “best latin actor”? That would seem a bit racist, no?

BTS is known for their inclusivity but it seems like the Grammys want to promote exclusivity. There’s also rumors about how the nominating process is fixed and that the people with power in the voting room have undisclosed conflicts of interests. They’re going to pick who they want. Say what you will, but when the former Grammys CEO files a complaint that it’s rigged and corrupt and the Grammys settle for an undisclosed amount of money, that’s got to say something.

Let’s be real, BTS has made a huge comeback with their album, ARIRANG. They’ve topped the Billboard 200 chart for two consecutive weeks, sold out tickets to all their shows (over 88), they dominated the American Music Awards, and performed at the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show—with over 1.4 billion people watching globally.

FYI: BTS donated their performance fee ($100 million) to the FIFA Global Citizen Fund. It is an initiative to expand access to quality education and sports for children worldwide.

With that being said, all seven members of BTS posted this message on their stories on IG.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, the Grammy’s CEO tried to gaslight folks and clapback with their own statement:

But if they were that saddened, why’d they delete BTS’s Grammy performances of Dynamite and Butter from their website and their YouTube channel? Hmmm?

BTS doesn’t need the Grammys. The Grammys need BTS.

Jungkook had a 5 hour and 42 minute livestream and 12.4 million people tuned in (you need to pay a membership through Weverse to watch). That’s just one of seven members of BTS. He even left the stream running with his YouTube playlist playing and went to sleep, yet millions of people continued to stay online till the end.

The Grammys on the other hand have a decline in viewership over the years. In 2024, they had 16.9 million viewers. In 2025, they had 15.4 million viewers.
