The 1975’s Matty Healy calls Kanye West his ‘hero’ in Grammys rant: ‘Separate the antisemitism’

Matty Healy called Kanye West his “hero” while ranting about the Grammys during The 1975’s concert in New York City Wednesday night.

“The fact that we didn’t get nominated for a Grammy was a f–king outrage,” the controversial singer said onstage at Madison Square Garden as the crowd erupted in cheers, according to an NSFW video shared on TikTok.

“The reason people don’t say that is ’cause it’s not a very tasteful thing to say, but I’m way past tasteful,” he joked. “Are you f–king mental?”

Although Healy, 34, claimed he does not “really care that much,” he named two of his band’s albums that he believes deserved nominations, 2016’s “I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It” and 2018’s “A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships,” in addition to their 2022 song “About You.”

Midway through the two-minute rant, the performer shifted his focus to West, who has also been a staunch critic of the Recording Academy.

“I’m not being self-celebratory, but Kanye is one of my heroes,” he said. “You know what? You’ve got to f–king believe in yourself.”

As the audience started booing, Healy acknowledged that West, 46, is an “awkward hero to have right now” given his antisemitic comments.
