Kanye West has threatened to boycott next year’s Grammy Awards unless bosses agree to change the voting process to allow the most commercially successful artists to take home the top trophies.
The rapper avoided the ceremony for six years because of his concerns about how the awards are dished out, but he made a long-awaited return to the prizegiving on Sunday night.
West caused controversy at the show by invading the stage to protest when Beck won the Album of the Year prize over his pal Beyonce, and he has now insisted he will not return in 2016 unless awards bosses change the system to favour artists with the most popular records.
During an interview with DJ Ryan Seacrest, which airs on the U.K.’s Heat Radio on Thursday, West calls for a meeting with the men behind the Grammys, Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow and Recording Academy Chair Emeritus Jimmy Jam, to discuss his suggestions.
West says, “(I boycotted the Grammys for) six years... I will not go (again) until I sit with Neil, sit with Jimmy Jam and fix the voting system to be more in accord with the popular votes because popularity is what is needed to sell commercials... A revolution of inspiration can only be had when the older generation combines with the younger generations.”
Is this guy OK in the head? Seriously this dude has some issues.
Cancel the show.
Good. Perhaps he could boycott them for the rest of his natural life.
Kanye’s ego problem may actually exceed Obama’s.
Kanye West is TRASH.
Does Kanye West have a thing against whites winning awards?
AS if anyone is going to lose any sleep over that. Sorry Mr. Kardashian but your 15 minutes are up.
Go ahead. Make my day.
Good! Stay mad and stay away. Kayne is not getting any younger, and had grown used to getting his way by bluffing and bullying others. One of these days he will run up to the wrong prizewinning musician, all ready to start something, then POW!! right in the kisser, the prizewinning musician will fight back onstage, and the world will be cheering him (or her) on with every connecting punch and bitch slap!
Thug.
A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste...
Kanye’s is apparently FRIED!!
I’m WAY ahead of him. Can’t recall the last time I ever watched that circus.
Those white people at the Grammies better listen to Lord Kanye. White people are not talented and should not be receiving trophies even in his “everybody gets a trophy” world. He and Bouncy should be the only winners. The boy is brilliant. Listen to him!!!
“The rapper avoided the ceremony for six years because of his concerns about how the awards are dished out, but he made a long-awaited return to the prizegiving on Sunday night.”
Who even noticed he was not there for six years?? Who even cared?? The answer: Nobody, other than the brain dead who admire this worthless fool.
If I ever hear that lying hypocrite complain about capitalism - I'll scream.
Yeah, the main issue is he’s a no talent hack and he’s tryin’ to be relavant.....and he ain’t.
“Who even noticed he was not there for six years??”
I’m guessing everybody noticed and everybody was GLAD.
