Good Riddance: Kanye West Vows To Boycott The Grammy Awards



Kanye West has vowed to boycott the Grammy awards until they rectify their voting system. This is coming after he has already received 21 Grammy awards . Kanye made the statement when he appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show to explain his actions at the Grammys. Read what he said below.
You know, I felt like just the whole Grammys, right when that happened, everybody was looking at me and then people started screaming, ”Kanye! Kanye! Go do it!'”. Ok, that didn’t really happen, these were voices in my head. So the voices in my head told me go and then I just walked up like halfway up the stage.’
You know, what I really wanted to do is just joke around about what had happened before, but I just really didn’t want to take away from Beck’s moment or the time he’s having to talk because you know the Grammys, they play music really quick no matter who you are and everything. So I just walked back down because you know, it was kind of a joke like the Grammys themselves.’
First of all Beck is one of the nicest guys and one of the most respected musicians in the game. So, there’s nothing that I will want to do as a fellow musician to disrespect him in any way.’
‘It’s almost like a chiropractor. You know, you just get a little crook out like, ”Wow, this crook has been there!” It’s just a little jolt of truth, right? And then you know, everyone feels better after the fact, or everyone is way more famous after the fact, or everyone sells way more albums after the fact, and then Kanye just goes on being an a**hole to everyone.’
‘I will not go to the Grammys [again] until I sit with Neil [Portnow], sit with Jimmy Jam, and fix the voting system so that it is more in line with the popular vote as those who are popular are the ones selling their advertising.’
