‘I was crazy about album of the year’: Mike Dean apologizes for trolling BTS
The 2022 Grammy Awards took place on April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The awards show saw some of the best performances in music history, from brilliant lights to epic costumes, with singers from different genres putting on a remarkable show.
While the night was victorious for some musical acts, it was also disheartening and disappointing for others who didn’t pick up awards. Fans and celebrities alike were disappointed with hits or albums that didn’t win a Grammy. Nevertheless, both parties showed their support and the artists promised the fans to try harder and do their best.
Meanwhile, Mike Dean seemed a little put off when American rapper Kanye failed to win album of the year at the Grammys. Instead of dealing with the loss in a mature way, he lashed out and made derogatory remarks on social media. It all started when the Recording Academy, The Grammys, tweeted about K-pop sensation BTS. It said:
“Name a band that’s smoother than BTS. We challenge you.”
To whom Mike tweeted:
“Anybody.”
As soon as BTS fans, known as ARMY, caught wind of Mike’s comments, thousands of angry fans filled in his mentions on the post and attacked him virtually, calling him rude and inappropriate. .
Soon, Mike responded and doubled down on numerous tweets, asking BTS fans to leave him alone, and then questioning the band’s credits and songwriting history.
“Team Travis and Kanye. Get those BTS fans off my dick.”
He continued to criticize the K-pop boy group:
“It’s funny to read so many armies saying that BTS members write ‘90% of their music,’ according to a statement made by a BigHit employee. Haha, there’s no way the members BTS have written 90% of their music. Just check the writing credits of each BTS album.”
Mike Dean finally ended up apologizing to BTS for what he described as an innocent trolling comment after his partner made him feel bad about what he said. He posted a series of tweets asking fans to calm down and that he meant no harm.
