Answer:
The female artist Sinead O'Connor.
Step-by-step explanation
Sinead O'Connor refused to accept the Grammy Award for her album in 1990 with the title "I do not want what I haven't got".
The reason that she gave for refusing the award was that the show that accompanied the award was too commercialized and materialistic.
The Grammy Awards began in 1959. A recipient of the award is given a gold plated trophy in the shape of a gramophone, which was an early recording device that followed the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison.
