In a shocking and brutally honest statement, Eminem has once again proven he’s not afraid to burn bridges—especially when it comes to the music industry’s most prestigious (and controversial) award show: the Grammys.
In a rare and unfiltered moment, the rap icon declared he will never attend the Grammys again, citing years of disrespect, industry politics, and blatant manipulation of fame to serve hidden agendas.
“The Grammys are useless,” Eminem said. “I warned them—don’t put my name in anything, don’t invite me. They use big names like me to boost their ratings, and then give the awards to artists no one even listens to. So who’s voting?”
It’s not the first time Eminem has voiced frustration with award shows, but this time, he’s naming names—and not holding back. While he says he could accept losing to Kanye West or Kendrick Lamar, legends in their own right, he questions how “obscure” artists with “no real fanbase” continue to win categories they barely belong in.
But the most jaw-dropping part of his rant came when he brought up Nicki Minaj, another artist notoriously snubbed by the Recording Academy.
“Look at Nicki Minaj. No Grammys. Seriously—what female rapper is better than her? No one. She changed the game, and still they act like she doesn’t exist. It’s a joke.”
Fans are divided, but many agree that Eminem’s criticism shines a light on a long-standing issue: the Grammys’ credibility is crumbling. With A-listers like The Weeknd, Drake, and now Eminem turning their backs on the show, the future of music’s biggest night is in question.
This isn’t just a personal vendetta—it’s a battle cry for accountability in an industry that often rewards the political over the powerful, and the marketable over the meaningful.
Eminem’s message is clear: he’s done playing their game. The real question now—how many more legends will follow his lead?
Stay tuned. This might just be the beginning of a long-overdue reckoning.
