GRAMMY RIGGING SCANDAL EXPLODES!
THE Grammy Awards are a SHAM rigged by bigwigs at the Recording Academy to serve the artists they prefer!
That’s the explosive charge from the academy’s former CEO Deborah Dugan, who claims she was fired for leaking the scandal! Her claim, shortly before the annual awards took place Jan. 26, added a sour note to the event amid questions over whether stars such as Tanya Tucker, Lizzo, Willie Nelson and Billie Eilish won fairly — or because votes were skewed in their favor. “The whole Grammy
Awards has come under a cloud of suspicion,” a longtime recording industry member told The National ENQUIRER. “How does anybody know the show isn’t fixed?”
Another industry insider said, “The Grammys have been a joke for years now!
It’s nothing but promotion for
the music business and not the artists. It’s about making money and has nothing to do with credibility.”
Eilish, 18, was the big winner this year, sweeping the top four awards, including Record of the Year. There’s no suggestion academy voters weighted the scales for her — but that didn’t satisfy some insiders! A music critic told The ENQUIRER “Old Town Road,” by Lil Nas X ft. Billy Ray
Cyrus, “became the longest running No. 1 of all time in the Billboard charts, yet didn’t even score a nomination for Song of the Year?
“Could that have anything to do with the fact [Lil Nas
X] originally released and promoted it himself, without a record company backing him? Or because he is an openly gay black man and not as marketable as other artists?” Dugan, who’s filed a lawsuit against the academy, insisted she had evidence of “serious” voting irregularities and conflicts of interest. Her claims first emerged in a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, describing the Grammys as a “boys’ club” where votes were manipulated.
She outlined an incident where an unnamed artist who sat on the 2019 nominating committee wound up pushing ahead of Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran on the short list! Dugan was placed on administrative leave for misconduct, and the Recording Academy called the allegations “spurious” and “categorically false.”
But Mark Bego, author of the Elton John biography “Rocketman,” told The ENQUIRER: “It has been known for a long time that the Grammy Awards are totally political in nature. They have a history for snubbing deserving talents for record company politics and favors.”
A number of past winners have left the public scratching their heads as far back as
1989 when heavyweights Metallica lost the first-ever Heavy Metal Grammy to the much tamer Jethro Tull!
The same year, Milli Vanilli won for Best New Artist. Todd Headlee, ex-manager of the scandal-plagued duo, said even though such bosses as record company president Clive Davis and talent manager Sandy Gallin knew the band was faking, they still pushed them for awards. “Clive and Sandy may tell you they didn’t know they were lip syncing. But of course they knew!” he said.
