🚨🎙️Eminem on BTS reportedly choosing not to submit a song for Grammy consideration:
"Good. I respect it. I've been saying for years that artists don't need a gold trophy to prove they're great. If BTS decided they don't need the Grammys, it's because they've already built one of the biggest fanbases in the world. The Grammys don't define greatness, they never have."
"Now, look at someone like Nicki Minaj. Whether you love her or not, her impact on hip-hop is undeniable, yet she's never won a Grammy, then look at Beyonce, she's good but not all that and yet she has the most Grammys?. It goes on to show why people keep questioning the system. It feels like industry politics and behind-the-scenes influence matter more than the music. That's why more artists are realizing they don't need the Grammys, the Grammys need them."

BTS' "Aliens" reaches a new peak of #1 on the US iTunes Songs Chart.
— The song confronts xenophobia, challenges prejudice within the Western music industry, and embraces BTS' identity as cultural outsiders on the global music scene.
you want me to gaf about the grammys when this is the crowd bts pulls with a 5 hour notice for a few minutes appearance. awards can be bought but you can never fake influence.
BTS has announced that they will not be submitting music from their comeback album Arirang for consideration at the 2027 #Grammys — a month after the Recording Academy announced the new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category.

The craziest part is that BTS became the first act ever to reject a racist award show, and it will forever go down as one of their most historic moments.
Bertahun-tahun, Grammy dianggap sbg "puncak validasi" bagi musisi global. Tapi BTS sekali lagi nunjukkin nilai mereka di mata dunia. Bhw pencapaian terbesar mereka bukan sekadar piala panggung dunia dr "kategori" yg membatasi. Bagi BTS, musik itu melampaui bahasa, ras & batasan.
Biggest movements from an artist in Kpop industry
— BTS didnt give permission to government to use themself and went to military
— BTS didnt give permission to Grammys to use themself and today they are boycotting
Yang bikin salut, Bangtan secara pribadi memilih untuk menyampaikan keputusan ini sebelum batas akhir pengajuan Grammy pada 21 Agustus 2026. Mereka speak up lebih awal agar fans ga bingung atau bertanya-tanya nanti kenapa mereka ga masuk nominasi. Menurutku, ini menunjukkan betapa mereka menghargai fans dengan memberikan penjelasan secara terbuka sejak awal 😥
I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
