In reply to Erica.

I think it's the other way around. Silk Sonic had a very cohesive album that they wrote, produced, and played instruments themselves. the Grammys has proven to favor the duo by gracing them with a clean sweep the previous year and let's not forget how historically, male artists usually dominate on grammy night. Hence, why I think they said they are bowing out "sexually" in their statement. I also would argue to say Beyonce's camp may have reached out to Silk Sonic and spoke as they are friends of Beyonce. This feels very political and or based on the relationship between Beyonce and Bruno.
