Lawyer Rahmani openly claimed that he believes the Grammy Awards is turning a blind eye to Lizzo’s controversies. He believes the sole reason behind such wickedness is because she is a woman. Infuriated by the discrimination at the Grammy’s the lawyer is upset that they invited her amid the claims against her.
