Mike Dean Apologizes to BTS for Grammy Tweet, Says He Was ‘Just F—ing Trolling’
Mike Dean is sorry for “f—ing trolling” BTS after he seemed to take out his anger on the K-pop group for losing out on the album of the year Grammy. The legendary hip-hop producer took home a Grammy on Sunday at the 64th annual awards show for best rap song as a co-writer of Ye‘s “Jail,” featuring Jay-Z. But its parent album Donda, which he co-produced, didn’t win album of the year, and he felt some type of way about it.

While Trump’s cronies desperately cycled on-stage in Washington D.C.’s Ellipse to protest Trump’s obvious election loss, the person on the ones and twos slyly soundtracked the event with famous songs about defeat.

The DJ also played Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage”, Linkin Park’s “I Tried So Hard”, and John’s “Ca...
