There looks to be some grudge-holding against the Grammys as Drake and The Weeknd’s albums are missing from consideration. We’ve just entered a frazzled season for the music industry, as artists will soon learn who will earn themselves a nomination by The Recording Academy. Next year’s ceremony is already said to be one filled with anticipation as there have been formidable contenders among the year’s releases.

Two noteworthy hitmakers who were expected to take home several trophies are Drake and The Weeknd, but reports stated that the Canadian chart-toppers have not submitted their music for review.

Drizzy’s Honestly, Nevermind and Weeknd’s Dawn FM both took over the charts upon their deliveries, but they were absent from the Grammys’ ballots. They do, however, show face in features with other artists, but solo effort submissions have been withheld.

It has been speculated that this is because of both artists’ contention with The Recording Academy. Drake has previously taken issue with category placements in the past, most notably the drama surrounding “Hotline Bling” being included with Rap nominees.

More recently, The Weeknd’s After Hours album was a massive global success that stayed at the top of charts for months. Yet, when it came time for nominations, the album didn’t receive any, leaving Weeknd to declare that he would boycott the Grammys.

GOATS

i’m crying the grammys are so cooked has to be worth less than a serbian dinar

i dont think its automatically boycotting if you dont submit

S***s weird they make is sound you HAVE TO participate or else there must be something wrong or a bigger picture

Crazy how much the Grammy name still holds that its still seen as a "mandatory" or else you have resentment if you dont go/submit

They botcotted by releasing 2 flop albums?

Also I wonder how Drake feels of USA Billboard counting HN as a Rap album if he was truly "upset" over Grammies calling Hotline Bling a Rap song

Insert customary H.E.R joke

Ratio

I will also be boycotting the Grammys if you’d like to go ahead and praise me as well, thanks.

Abel, our humble king!

Suck a fat one, Aubrey!

Care to explain why 23 Hours To Kill was nominated for Best Comedy Album last year Mr Seinfeld?

I lost, so now I must boycott.

It's gotta sting losing to Louie Ck, everyone hates his guts

They know they ain’t winning s*** with the albums they dropped

but good for them

I'm still waiting for drake/ye/nicki etc to set up an award show. We don't need them, An award show that give awards fairly and doesn't try to make it's own history.

How did Macklemore get the Grammy over Kendrick?

How did Cardi get the Grammy over Travis, Mac miller and Pusha?

Show is a joke.

That OVO and that XO is everything you believe in, I know

When they die they'll say their amount of grammys not billboard awards so...

I don't think this is the solution though

Drake ain’t winning one anyway, and he knows that

A Grammy is still the most prestigious award in music, every artist wants as many as they can get

They would say Drake is Top 3 best selling rapper in albums and singles

CLB and W2S were nominated btw.

how can anyone take the Grammys seriously giving awards to HER and Lil Nas X when the real stars like this don’t even submit

This is all certain fanbases have ☕️
