Musics biggest night might just be its most controversial as the 2020 Grammy Awards kicked off on Sunday amid major clashes within the Recording Academy.

Just 10 days before the 62nd annual ceremony, it was announced that former president and CEO Deborah Dugan was ousted for concerns over workplace bullying months into her tenure as the organizations first-ever female head. Dugan has since set off a media firestorm by calling the integrity of the awards show into question . The executive claims she was sexually harassed and then suspended in retaliation for challenging a culture of corruption and self-dealing enabled by the boys club mentality and approach at the heart of the organization.

Dugan was meant to represent a fresh start for the Grammys years after former chief Neil Portnow suggested that women should step it up to be recognized despite widespread criticism over the award shows long-standing lack of gender and racial diversity.

And this years nominees certainly reflected recent efforts to diversify the Recording Academys ranks, as a fresh crop of young stars, including Lizzo , Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X , scored major nods and are set to dominate at the ceremony.

Its unclear how the scandal will be addressed at the ceremony, hosted for the second time by 15-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys. Artists like the Jonas Brothers; Aerosmith; Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani; Tyler, the Creator; Rosala; and Ariana Grande , who locked horns with the producers last year , are all slated to perform on the Grammys stage.

The ceremony will also feature an all-star tribute to the late rapper Nipsey Hussle from DJ Khaled, John Legend, Meek Mill, and gospel singer Kirk Franklin, as well as a performance from Sheila E., Usher and FKA twigs to honor Princes legacy.

Check out the full list of nominees and winners below.
