Renowned American rapper, songwriter, and record producer, Marshall Bruce Mathers III, popularly known as Eminem, has made bold claims about the credibility of the Grammy Awards, asserting that the voting process and selections are manipulated.
During a recent interview, Eminem openly criticized the Grammy Awards, calling them fake and alleging that the winners are chosen based on favoritism rather than genuine artistic merit. His comments have sparked widespread reactions among fans and the music industry alike.
Eminem’s remarks came in response to the recently concluded 67th Grammy Awards, which took place on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The rapper, who has had a long and complicated history with the Grammys, reiterated his frustration, vowing never to attend the prestigious event again.
Expressing his disillusionment with the process, Eminem declared that his stance on the matter was final and unchangeable. He firmly stated that he would never step foot at the Grammys again, even if given another 100 million years.
In his words:
“That vote is fake as fvck, that is not a real vote. They give it to who they want to give it to. If I lose to fvcking Kanye or someone that I’m like okay, I respect that, I know who that is, and Kanye has a huge following, he made a massive impact on music, but don’t fvcking get us all here to use your selling point for your fvking show and stiff everybody every single fvking time.
Don’t ever ask me to fvcking come here again, please do not ask me, my answer is No, for 100 million years. Never again will I fvcking go to the Grammys.”
His explosive statements have ignited discussions among music lovers, with some supporting his claims while others argue that the Grammy Awards remain a prestigious recognition of musical excellence. Over the years, Eminem has been vocal about his discontent with award shows, particularly the Grammys, and this latest statement further solidifies his stance.
