It
seems
Diddy
will
stay
away
from
the
public
eye
much
longer
than
many
expected.
He
will
not
be
attending
the
2024
Grammy
Awards
despite
being
nominated.
Digital
Music
News
is
reporting
that
the
Bad
Boy
Entertainment
mogul
will
not
be
in
the
house
for
the
66th
edition
of
the
ceremony
that
will
honor
the
best
in
music.
The
Hollywood
Reporter
has
exclusively
confirmed
this
with
one
of
his
representatives.
His
decision
to
bow
out
seems
to
stem
from
the
multiple
allegations
of
sexual
assault
made
against
the
New
York
City
native.
While
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
the
Recording
Academy
have
not
formally
rescinded
his
invite,
they
told
Radar
Online
on
Dec.
11
that
they
are
“taking
very
seriously
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
evaluating
it
with
the
time
and
care
that
it
deserves.”
Diddy’s
latest
effort The
Love
Album:
Off
The
Grid
was
nominated
for
Best
Progressive
R&B
album
along
with
SZA’s SOS,
Janelle
Monáe’s The
Age
Of
Pleasure,
6LACK’s Since
I
Have
A
Lover and Nova
by
Terrence
Martin
and
James
Fauntleroy.
This
nod
marks
Diddy’s
first
Grammy
Award
nomination
since
2004
when
he
won
for
Best
Rap
Performance
by
a
Duo
or
Group
for
“Shake
Ya
Tailfeather”
with
Nelly
and
Murphy
Lee.
In
the
past
the
Recording
Academy
has
faced
criticism
for
including
talent
facing
scandal.
Last
year
Dave
Chappelle,
Dr.
Luke
and
Louis
CK
were
all
respectively
nominated
for
awards.
In
a
statement
to The
Hollywood
Reporter
they
made
it
clear
that
the
nominations
do
not
necessarily
reflect
the
feelings
of
the
Academy.
“Our
job
is
to
evaluate
the
art
and
the
quality
of
the
art.
The
thing
that
we
can
control
is
making
sure
that
people
that
attend
our
events
feel
safe
…
and
don’t
feel
threatened
by
anyone”
Academy
CEO
Harvey
Mason
Jr.
said.
Diddy
has
denied
all
the
allegations
against
him.
