*It’s been speculated that he wouldn’t, but now it’s been confirmed that Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is nominated for Best Progressive R&B Album will NOT attend the 2024 Grammys.
A rep for the music mogul says he won’t attend the Feb. 4 show, where he is nominated for his latest album while dealing with sexual assault allegations (which he has denied), the Hollywood Reporter says.
The report noted the last time Combs’ music competed at the Grammys was 2004, and Combs, aka Diddy, won best rap performance by a group or duo — his third Grammy — for the thumping hit “Shake Ya Tailfeather,” featuring Nelly and Murphy Lee. The track appeared on the Bad Boys II soundtrack, which Diddy executive produced and released on his Bad Boy label.
So, two decades later, his return to the Grammys, with a nomination for best progressive R&B album for his The Love Album: Off the Grid, is a big deal.
Unfortunately, as we all too well know, less than a week after his Grammy nomination, singer Cassie lowered the boom and sued Combs, alleging he used his power to subject her to years of sexual and physical violence. Cassie and Combs settled two days later, but more lawsuits from other women followed with claims of rape and sexual assault. Diddy/Combs has denied all of the allegations.
Here’s more from the THR report:
The severity of the allegations cast a shadow over the artist — and over the awards show that recognized him. Diddy’s representative told THR that he won’t attend the Feb. 4 Grammys. Everyone nominated for a Grammy is invited to the show, and the Academy revealed in a Dec. 11 statement to RadarOnline that it is ‘taking this matter very seriously and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves.”
Bottom line: Sean Diddy Combs will not attend the 2024 Grammys on February 4
