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?

Whatโ€™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 Showโ€”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.

    I think this situation is the same is Ms universe pageant. There’s some bias sometimes, and viewers are surprised why some participants won the top place where the deserving one falls into the last or being eliminated. I’m glad BTS sense it. I hope Grammy awaken with this.

      i feel like the grammys are just digging themselves into a bigger hole at this point

        It’s up to them if they stop digging or not๐Ÿ˜

    We won’t declare victory until they have zero viewers!

    Same for the Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys.

    And don’t get me started on The People’s Choice awards!

    F*ck the entertainment elite industrial complex!

      people are actually boycotting the grammys because of this lol

      1. ianmdudley Avatar

        Does it count as participating in the boycott if I never watch anyway?

        Asking for a friend…

    They did the right thing. End of the day its a numbers game and the Grammy’s just don’t have them.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      1. Ajinkya Rane Avatar

        My prediction is that the Grammy’s will drop their jammies.

    The Grammys, Emmys,,Tonys and Oscars are most likely ALL fixed. There have been quite a number of performers over the years who even refuse to collect a trophy as well.Yeah that ain’t inclusivity. It’s kibd of like Oscars with best foreign film and then a foreign blows past that category to win best picture period like Parasite.

      exactly!!

    Wow, those numbers! Youโ€™re right, the Grammys need BTS, not the other way round. Loved their FIFA performance. And so great that they donated their fee.

      they’re really philanthropic, they’ve established treatment centers for children with autism, donated $ to the underprivileged, supports youth and animal welfare organizations, student scholarships and more.

    There are some good arguments being voiced here in your post and comments. I’ve also read about other fields like the book prizes and a few sports looking like they could be pre-determined.

      thank you, Cai!

    All the major award shows are rigged for American artists and to maximize profits. Probably some of the reasons why bands and movies that do well in US markets are favored and non-US artists are discriminated against.

      agreed!

    The Grammys creating a new category is really bad. More than slighting BTS, they pretty much ensure they don’t win any of those other major categories. And that’s a good point about the Oscars not having separate categories based on ethnicity or nationality. Music, which is a universal language that transcends everything, certainly doesn’t need that distinction, so why do the Grammys? I’d never heard of BTS before reading your blog but when I googled the top five boy bands in history they were one of those five. I’m announcing my official boycott* of the Grammys now and you get the scoop!

    Except for watching the two YouTube videos of Prince from the Grammys

      thank you for the support!! i won’t be watching the grammy’s but i hope taylor swift wins!!

    The audience is the biggest award for BTS.

    Although, I don’t listen to them often, there are many of those I know here…who are obsessed! โ™ฅ๏ธ

    I love award seasons….but I am also aware of the many loopholes it has had consistently…hehe

    I don’t know what’s going on in the academy’s mind…maybe like they wanna do the USA Europe diff, latin album diff, asia different…

    The length and breath of Asia….omg! that is huge in itself… so many cultures!

    โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

    1. justrojie Avatar

      it’s because they’re scared that other races will dominate

  13. Sammy Avatar

    Exactly sista!! BTS don’t need a fancy award just to win in the ‘Asian’ catagory thus pidgeonholing them? NON. They have the love and support of family + friends, plus us crazy folk calling ourselves ARMY๐Ÿ’œ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As Marshall might have put it as Slim “Fuck dat shit.”
