Sean 'Diddy' Combs not invited to the Grammy Awards despite nomination...
The last time Sean Combs’ music competed at the Grammys, a then-unknown Mark Zuckerberg had just created Facebook, Nipplegate occurred at the Super Bowl and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King garnered a record-tying 11 Oscars. It 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 his return to the Grammys, two decades later with a nomination for best progressive R&B album for his The Love Album: Off the Grid, is a major feat — and a proud moment for the artist. Some would even call the nomination a win (though we should note that there is zero chance his album can compete with SZA’s game-changing SOS).
Though Diddy isn’t nominated in the major Grammy categories, his bid for best progressive R&B album is noteworthy since the award honors R&B-based projects created by contemporary acts who blaze trails, including critical darlings like Steve Lacy and Thundercat. Seventy albums were submitted for the award this year, and the 54-year-old Diddy beat out revered acts like Daniel Caesar, Kelela, Jungle and Kali Uchis, whose Red Moon in Venus ranked second on THR’s best albums of 2023 list.
Diddy’s big comeback to music’s biggest awards show didn’t last long: Less than a week after the Recording Academy unveiled its nominees, singer Cassie sued her former record label boss and boyfriend, alleging he used his power to subject her to years of sexual and physical violence. Cassie and Diddy settled two days later, but more lawsuits from women followed with claims of rape and sexual assault. Combs has denied all of the allegations.
The severity of the allegations cast a shadow over the artist — and over the awards show that recognized him. Diddy’s representative tells 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.”

Big Deal ~ I Want To Know When The RICO Charges Are Filed Against His NASTY A$$!!!
Not getting any good attention is going to kill him more than his pockets drying up. That's why none of his artist can survive cause he wants all of the attention. Must hurt Diddy knowing no one likes you for real now. They give Chris Brown a hard time but this ninja is way worse. Murdering Biggie and Tupac so he can shine what a hater.
His mouth is so little for so much BS and big talk coming out of it. The camel is teaming up with Deanglo now. Let's see if he ever get got cause Jaguar said he's smarter than P Shytty.
👀👀
Diddy done in this world.

Finito.
Is he in rehab because he just disappeared.
Time to get him tf outta here. Since his Tacky Lookin Momma was with all the sh*ts, I am glad she lived to see them eventually lock up the POS she raised. Her baby... that monster.
8:47 he vanished

a detriment to the advancement of the Race- thank God we now know….thank, Him that we can see and He made it plan
You know Dump is just as bad if not worse than him and he gets votes. What kind of country is this?
^^^so off subject and misdirected
Whatever, Diddy laying low and plotting a comeback and he'll be back next year. The industry is ruled by Satan and everybody knows that. Satan's favorite demons will always end up back at the table #staywoke
Let's exclude him from planet Earth.
