"Billboard awards, I claimed 13 out in Vegas like Sureños
Black excellence, but I guess
When it comes to me it's not the same though, all goodie
That just pushed me to do the things we all couldn't"

When it’s the Grammys it’s don’t attend and withdraw submissions and awards don’t matter. Feeling like that’s because he doesn’t dominate the Grammys like other artists, but he would def celebrate them if he did

billboard awards are the closet you will ever get to an objective award show considering they are based on stats and their formula for determining chart positions are pretty much public knowledge. hence why people are able to predict positions throughout the week as more data is released.

I mean they are based entirely on two separate things. It is completely logical to like one show and not like the other...

If you think he wouldn’t be celebrating the grammys if he won as many as other artists then you’re too far gone in this stan thing

They don't respect what he does so he doesn't respect them it's kinda simple no

You mean sort of like how Weeknd boycotted Grammys because his music wasn't getting love? Or Kanye boycotting Grammys because he didn't win the awards he felt he deserved?

Or Kendrick kissing their ass because they kiss his ass?...

Wow. Thank you for pointing out something that applies to essentially every single artist.

well u tried, a for effort.

did he attend the bba ?

Not really a matter of respect, just the opinion of their voters

u sound a bit naive. havent u learned from the oscar ? how they flipped the switch and suddenly started appreciation black actors within a year after backlash ? its not about opinion but politics and kind of image the institution wants to portray in the public.

drake has been off that s*** when he realized what it was. bba are just based on facts and data, no BS and d*** riding required.

I know, they’re fickle
But you would be naïve to think that if Drake dominated the Grammy’s he wouldn’t be flaunting it non stop

u make it sound like he drops a grammy diss track every other weak lol.

he just doesnt care about them and made it to be the biggest artist without their approval.

way too many legends of the culture havent won them in their career to actually care about them. doesnt mean you cant still be happy about a win, especially for newer artists.

Nah, he just has sounded quite whiney a few times about the Grammys

Artists grow up watching the Grammys and idolise it. It was industry validation and culturally significant. Used to be.

Now it’s politics and only rewards those that sing their tune. Either you sell-out completely and do a “12 Years a Slave” (the album) or you keep it pushin’.

At this point the Grammys giving Drake an award is hilarious. He himself is bigger than the Grammys and commands more attention than they do. They WISH he’d attend.

Respect goes into those opinions

It doesnt matter cause they robbed him too many times. After a while he probably noticed its not fair and focusses on objectivity based awards like this. But he def would celebrate if he won a bunch of them so youre right in that aspect

Let’s not act like a single Drake album in the last 5/6 years should have got a Grammy lol

Grammys are just album awards

Drake was pretty early on saying f*** the grammys

I could give two f***s 'bout where the Grammys go
I just gave out Grammys on my Instagram
Them OVO boys, the business man

I know
He still would celebrate the Grammys if he won as many as some of his peers

I don’t think he’s cut them off completely so you’re probably right there.

As a fan I’m glad he hasn’t changed his music just to appease them or the critic base.

Consequently, it’s why he’s still the #1 artist all these ‘award winning’ artists wish they could be.
