It looks Didi will stay out of the limelight much longer than many expected. He will not attend the Grammy Awards 2024 despite being proposed.
Digital Music News is reference that the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul won't be in the house for the 66th edition of the ceremony honoring the best in music. The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively confirmed this one with one of Diddy's reps. His decision to bow out appears to stem from the multiple sexual assault allegations leveled against the New York native. While the Recording Academy Board of Directors has not officially rescinded their invitation, they he said Radar Online on Dec. 11 that they “take it very seriously and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care it deserves.”
Diddy's latest effort, The Love Album: Off The Grid, nominated for Best Progressive R&B Album along with SZA warning signJanelle Monáe's The Age of Pleasure6LACK's Since I have a lover and Nova by Terrence Martin and James Fauntleroy. The nod marks Diddy's first Grammy nomination since 2004, when he won for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “Shake Ya Tailfeather” with Nelly and Murphy Lee.
In the past, the Recording Academy has faced criticism for including talent scandal. Last year, Dave Chappelle, Dr. Luke and Louis CK were all nominated for awards respectively. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, made it clear that nominations do not necessarily reflect the feelings of the Academy. “Our job is to evaluate art and the quality of art. What we can control is making sure that people who attend our events feel safe … and don't feel threatened by anyone,” said Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.
Didi has denied all the charges against him.
