Retraction To An Earlier Hedley Article

By David Farrell

Earlier this week FYI Music News published an article containing possibly libellous words about two individuals suspected to have been behind a conspiracy regarding allegations against the band Hedley. We have since learned that the information brought forth to us about these individuals, Brianne Amira and Taylor Bowman (who were not named in the original article) was unsubstantiated by FYI before we published the story. We apologize for not fact checking beforehand and will do better moving forward.

The five nominees in 2026's rap category were white, prompting many francophone rappers, including Calamine, Aswell and more, to speak out about the lack of Black artists. ADISQ tells Billboard Canada that it plans to “strengthen" its processes and meet with stakeholders to find a positive resolution for the future.

Quebecois rappers are speaking out about the lack of Black artists nominated in the rap categories at the ADISQ Gala.
