Disgraced Pop Star Fab Morvan Faces Off Against Dalai Lama and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for Grammy

As the 2025 Grammy nominations were announced last week, a new and unexpected rivalry has emerged in the Best Audiobook, Narration, and Storytelling Recording category. Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan, one half of the disgraced 90s pop duo, finds himself competing against the Dalai Lama and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Morvan's memoir "You Know It's True" details the "dramatic and surreal" rise and fall of Milli Vanilli, who infamously had their 1990 Best New Artist Grammy revoked after it was revealed they did not actually sing on their hit records. Meanwhile, the Dalai Lama is nominated for "Meditations: The Reflection of His Holiness the Dalai Lama," which features his reflections over Indian classical music, and Justice Jackson is recognized for her memoir "Lovely One," which the New York Times praised as "deeply personal and full of hope."

This unlikely trio of nominees highlights the eclectic nature of the Grammys' audiobook category, which has previously honored the likes of Edward R. Murrow, Dudley Moore, and even former President Jimmy Carter. If Morvan were to win, it could signal a remarkable redemption arc for the once-disgraced pop star, who has gone from the industry's pariah to a symbol of the music world's morally dubious practices.
