‘DONDA’ Producer Mike Dean Apologises For “Trolling” BTS

American producer Mike Dean has apologised to BTS, following a series of tweets where he criticised the group.
On April 4, the night of the Grammys 2022, Dean took a jab at the K-pop boyband by responding to a tweet from the Recording Academy.
“Name a group ~smoother~ than @bts_bighit, we dare you,” the Recording Academy wrote, to which Dean replied “Anyone.”

Later that night, while responding to BTS fans, Dean questioned the group’s songwriting credits.
“It’s funny to read so many armys saying BTS members write ‘90% of their music.’ There is no way BTS members have [written] 90% of their music,” he wrote.
“Just check the writing credits of every single BTS album. In all of them are like 9-10 credited songwriters per song,” he added.
Dean has since apologised to the K-pop group, saying he was only “trolling” after Kanye West’s DONDA missed out on Album Of The Year.
OK. SORRY TO BTS. JUST FUCKING TROLLING.

Ok folks. I was mad about album of the year and made a post I shouldn’t have made. My gf just made me feel bad for it.
