Dr. Dre’s Assault Victim Dee Barnes Blasts Grammys For Honoring The West Coast Producer

Dee Barnes blasted the Recording Academy for commemorating Dr. Dre at this year’s Grammy Awards.

Dee Barnes has actually long declared that the producer attacked her in 1991 at a release celebration. Dre was handed the Global Impact Award on Sunday however she states they must not have actually offered him the homage.

“Everybody wishes to separate the art from the artist, and often that’s simply not possible. Most individuals without an understanding of [Dr. Dre’s] history are going to state, ‘Oh, he needs to should have that. He need to be such a terrific individual for them to put an award in his name.’ But they called this award after an abuser,” she informed Rolling Stone. “It wasn’t simply a one or two-time thing; these are options. The very first time, it’s possibly an error. The 2nd time, alright. The 3rd time, it’s an option. I’m not stating he is the exact same individual now, though. I put on’t understand. I’m not around him any longer. I sanctuary’t talked with him. But to call an award after somebody with that kind of history in the music market, you may too call it the ‘Ike Turner Award.’”

She continued: “He stated it himself in the documentary The Defiant Ones: I’m a ‘acne’ on who he is as a guy. Well, what do you finish with an imperfection? There’s an entire market developed—skin care lines and vitamins and routines—to eliminate imperfections,” she continued. “And, in a sense, there’s an entire network to keep me concealed.”

Were the Grammys incorrect for admiring Dre?
