Halsey
She claimed, 'The Grammys are an elusive process.'
'It can often be about behind the scenes private performances, knowing the right people, campaigning through the grapevine, with the right handshake and 'bribes' that can be just ambiguous enough to pass as 'not bribes.''

'And if you get that far, it’s about committing to exclusive TV performances and making sure you help the Academy make their millions in advertising on the night of the show.'
'Perhaps sometimes it is (!!) but it’s not always about the music or quality or culture,' Halsey alleged.
'Just wanted to get that off my chest. @theweeknd deserves better, and Manic did too.'
