Media personality and politician Tuff B has responded to Eddy Kenzo’s second Grammy nomination with allegations that major international awards are politicized and can even be bought.Speaking in an interview, Tuff B said he has spent enough time in the entertainment industry to understand how global award systems operate behind the scenes. According to him, it is possible for artists to win or even secure nominations through connections or financial influence.I’ve lived long enough in this industry to know someone can pass through someone and pay for a nomination or award. He argued that most award shows are structured as businesses rather than purely merit-based competitions.All people who organize awards have one agenda, it’s a business. If they invite someone, they’ll attend, but there will be conditions for their attendance, and that involves blessing them in some way, probably with an award. Tuff B went on to question long-standing patterns at the Grammys, pointing to Beyoncé’s frequent wins as an example.Journalists in politics: Tuff B highlights their relatability and community tiesHe claimed that her success could be tied to her husband Jay-Z, whom he alleges “sits on the board of entertainers who decide the winners.”Turning to Eddy Kenzo, he noted that the organizers could have selected him over artistes with bigger global hits because of his strong digital footprint.They might look at publicity in Uganda and pick Eddy Kenzo for vibe because numbers don’t lie. Kenzo has good numbers on his digital platforms, especially YouTube.He further suggested that the commercial and interest-driven nature of award shows is the reason many of them have collapsed over the years. @edwardthegreat08 ♬ original sound – edward the great The post Tuff B questions Grammy patterns and suggests awards are business-driven appeared first on MBU.
