Quavo Says Grammys Don’t Matter — Would Do J. Prince’s Concert Instead
In response to the Academy banning Ye from performing at the 2022 Grammys due to “concerning online behavior,” J. Prince has suggested having another star-studded event the same night as the big awards show.
In a post that was shared on his Instagram account, Prince explained that the only way to make a big change is to prove Grammy ratings will take a massive hit when hip hop’s biggest artists hold their own show instead.
Migos rapper Quavo is now weighing in on the idea and he fully supports it! The rapper was stopped by @tmz_tv on Wednesday and said the Grammys don’t mean a thing anymore. He went on to say that it’s time to start “our own awards” that appreciate “the real s**t” going on in the culture.
As we previously reported, the founder of Rap-A-Lot Records called on stars like Drake, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and The Weeknd to make this happen. He said,
“Hip-hop vs. the Grammys. I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture to their benefit up close and personal for the past 30 years that I’ve been in the music business,” the music mogul said in his post. “And all the artists, managers, and executives would do is complain. But never have the nuts to come together and do anything about it. Even though the latest episode deals with Trevor Noah and the canceling of Kanye, this racist act is so much bigger than them. Let’s just start with the mindset of the words “counsel” and “cancel” where the Grammys is concerned and compare them to rehabilitation and legal slavery where the penitentiary is concerned. If we begin with counsel and rehabilitation in the Grammys or the penitentiary, the truth is that they really don’t exist. They’re just fancy lies.”
He added,
“But on the other hand, if we look at the words cancel and legal slavery punishment: those words are true, real and exist today. For example, for those of you that never took the time to read the 13th amendment, it clearly says that slavery was abolished except for use as punishment for a crime you’ve been convicted of. So therefore, according to the 13th amendment of the Constitution, everyone in the prison system and those that are out of prison that have been convicted of a crime are considered slaves of the United States and it’s jurisdiction in 2022. Not only did they make slavery lawful by an amendment, they then created the laws by which people would be enslaved. They did that shit back then and they are still doing it today. This background is important to know because of the mentality of those that control both the Grammys and the prison system in the U.S. This is a ‘slave master punish a niggah mentality and act’ to remind us that no matter how much money we have—we are still niggahs in their eyes.“
