This year’s Swedish Grammy awards have been hit by the resignation of the country’s leading classical label, BIS.

Apparently, the Hip-hop award went to a nice young man called Yasin, who is doing serious jail time for weapon crimes and kidnap.

The Swedish IFPI which issues the award said it wanted to draw a line between artistic values and his private life.

That flipped the lid at BIS.
