If we talk about the Grammys, the controversial relationship between Eminem and the Grammys is a must to talk about. Eminem has been a die-hard critic of the whole show and swore never to attend it. In an interview, he revealed why he hates the Grammys. He said, “I’m tired of seeing it. For whatever reason, they’re always pitching this hint that you might win album of the year, which used to be a big deal. I don’t think it’s a big deal now.”
Eminem went on to say, “I sat at home this year for the Grammys and watched Jay and Kendrick not get it, and I felt like one of them should have got it,” he said referring to the award being given to Bruno Mars. He concluded by saying that his answer would always be a no and he would never go to the Grammys.
