It must be said. Diddy grammys
Diddy also spoke about the death of his longtime partner Kim Porter, who passed away at 47 of pneumonia last year."Now to my other family, my musical family. During the hardest year of my life [the death of longtime love Kim Porter], all of you were there to check on me and push me up. And I want to tell you I appreciate that. I love that. And I wouldn't be here if I didn't get those messages. I want to thank everybody here from the bottom of my heart that really cared about me.
Every year, you all be killing us, man. Man, you talk about the pain. I'm speaking for all the artists here, the producers and the executives. The amount of time that it takes to make these records, to pour your heart out into it … and you just want an even playing field. In the great words of Erykah Badu, we are artists and we are sensitive about our shit. We are passionate. For most of us, this is all we've got. This is our only hope.
I'm officially starting the clock. You've got 365 days to get this shit together. We need the artists to take back control, we need transparency, we need diversity. This is the room that has the power to make the changes that need to be made. They have to make the changes for us. They're a non-profit organization that's supposed to protect the welfare of the musical community. That's what it says on the mission statement. That's the truth. They work for us.
Now we're not going to solve this tonight. But it's going to take all of us to get this done. It's going to take the artists and executives to recognize their power. And I'm standing here today not to just bash you all because as I said, you're a non-profit organization. We just need to get it right. And I'm here for the artists.
