Kanye West‘s tweets this morning weren’t ignored by those in power. Earlier this afternoon, Recording Academy and Grammy Foundation CEO/President Neil Portnow took over the official Grammys Twitter for a rare social media appearance. “I’m not on Twitter but just hit me up and let’s have that sit down,” Portnow stated in a tweeted message to Yeezy. Early this morning, Kanye tweeted a storm regarding the Grammys and the ceremony’s lack of diversity and relevance. “I feel the Grammy awarding system is way off and completely out of touch,” read a tweet from Kanye. If a real, serious sit-down does happen as a result of Kanye West’s current mission to rework the Grammys, do you think anything about the award show and its system will significantly change? Will Kanye’s tweets end having a positive impact on the Grammys?
