Diddy slams Grammys during acceptance speech: “Black music has never been respected by the Grammys”

Joaquin Phoenix’s Best Actor win at Sunday’s Academy Awards wasn’t a surprise—he’d already won Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a BAFTA for his starring role in Todd Philips’ Joker. Each time he delivered a memorable speech—whether it was his endearingly ramble and bleep filled address at the Globes, a tender shout-out to his fellow nominees at the SAG Awards, and a thoughtful criticism of systematic racism at the BAFTAs.

Claws out.

“The Communist Manifesto” got a shoutout during the 2020 Oscars.

Adam Sandler continues to joke about his Academy Awards snub.

Standing up for Jolie and Jace! Jana Kramer clapped back at mom-shamers who criticize her and Mike Caussin’s children on social media.

Brad Pitt poked fun at both “Brexit” and “Megxit” while having Margot Robbie accept his award for best supporting actor at the 2020 BAFTAs.

Joaquin Phoenix won the BAFTA Film Award for best actor on Sunday night. During his acceptance speech, he called out the "systematic racism" prevalent in the awards system and acknowledged that he is "part of the problem." He said the lack of color present in the nominees sends a "very clear message to people of color that you're not welcome here." When Joaquin Phoenix won a BAFTA Award last night, he used his winning speech to address the glaring lack of diversity among the nominees.

After more than a year of steering clear of the public eye, Demi Lovato is actually back in the spotlight, and Lovatics everywhere are probably losing their sh*t over her stunning and emotional performance tonight.

Tyler, The Creator took home his first Grammy for Best Rap Album at the 2020 ceremony, and he used his acceptance speech to thank one of his biggest musical inspirations. The former Odd Future rapper wrapped up his speech by shouting out Pharrell Williams, whom he has long cited as one of his primary musical influences:

Gwen Stefani spoke on the 2020 Grammy Awards red carpet where she credited her “favorite person,” Blake Shelton, for saving her life as they dodged questions about getting engaged in the future.

In the wake of legal disputes surrounding the Recording Academy, Diddy took on the institution while accepting the Salute to Industry Icons Award at a pre-Grammy gala on January 25. Toward the end of his 40-minute speech, he called out the lack of diversity and transparency at the Grammys.

Sean “Diddy” Combs slammed the Recording Academy before a star-studded crowd at the annual Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala on Saturday night, saying that hip-hop and black music have “never been respected by the Grammys,” ironically as he accepted his award as the 2020 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoree at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
