“I wanted to sincerely apologize to MYSELF for my behavior,” Vito Bambino began, and then explained what he meant. “Last Friday, the crew and I attended the Fryderyk Awards – an event that I have never considered to be of greater importance before… but not this time. After eight nominations, I thought that maybe the moment has come when the domestic industry opens up to us… on me. I allowed myself to be deceived. I even felt some kind of pride. I literally lowered my guard for a moment – only to get a filling right in the face. In fact, it was more of a series of blows…” – wrote the musician. Then he announces:
I apologize and solemnly vow that I will NEVER again allow my artistry to be subjected to any assessment by a body of ‘experts’. The numbers will not be reported to ZPAV in the future [Związek Producentów Audio-Video – red.] – which means that my face or nickname will never appear in this irredeemable circus again. I have two Fryderyks at home – but not soon. Let’s get rid of it.
Vito Bambino announces that he will get rid of the Fryderyk family
Two years ago, Bambino received the Fryderyk award for the song of the year (“And you too, very” performed together with Dawid Podsiad³o and Daria Zawiałow as part of Mêskie Granie Orkiestra). A year later, he won in the same category for “Too Far” (a duet with Mróz). Bambino now calls the statuettes he has already won “furniture” and informs that he will auction the prizes and the money will be used for the operation of a nursing home for the elderly. At the same time, he slams the members of the Phonographic Academy who decide who receives the awards. “A large part of the voting population is already waiting there…” writes Bambino.
“To everyone who reads and thinks ‘what a pain in the ass’ – that’s how I would interpret it too… so I don’t see the need to convince you that it’s different, because it probably isn’t,” says the musician. And indeed, under his entry, which is accompanied by a photo of the Fryderyks arranged as a toilet paper stand, there are many comments like:
Hey, Bambino, maybe it’s time to grow up? It’s really a pity, because with your childish reaction you alienated many people and exposed yourself to ridicule. In addition, it turned into a hate speech against Lech. Well, sorry, the thresholds are too high for now.
I listen, I respect your work, but it’s so infantile and distasteful that I reject it. I recommend the ass pain ointment for this toiletry set.
You’re crazy, man. The statues you already hugged were great until you received new ones, because if you did, of course they wouldn’t be furniture. Hehe.
There are also fans of the musician who not only defend his attitude, but also accuse the Phonographic Academy. “Vito, you are probably the only person in the industry who always says what he thinks and doesn’t care about the consequences. I respect you for this, to the maximum, because few people, or even no one, would be able to do it. For me, eight nominations and no reward, it stinks of a set-up from a mile away,” writes one of the people commenting on the post.
Eight nominations, no statuettes
Bambino was nominated for the Fryderyk Awards 2024 in the following categories: Artist of the Year, Author of the Year, Producer of the Year, Composer of the Year, Band/Artistic Project of the Year (for Męskie Granie Orkiestra 2023) and Indie Pop Album of the Year for the album “Poczekalnia”.

He was recognized as the artist of the year, winning in the categories: alternative album of the year, composer / composer / composing team of the year, author / author / author’s team and song of the year. , this last award surprised the audience a bit. “Ass like a sofa” has only 53,000 views on YouTube. music video views.
