Drake Says Grammys 'May No Longer Matter' After The Weeknd's Glaring Snub
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Just hold on, Drake has a solution. Drake, who has tallied 47 Grammy nominations and won four times, said the people should “just accept that what once was the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to the artists that exist now and the ones that come after.” Drake and The Weeknd perform onstage during Drake's "Nothing Was the Same" world tour on March 16, 2014. He had figured The Weeknd’s new album “After Hours” and smash hit single “Blinding Lights” were “a lock for either album or song of the year along with countless other reasonable assumptions and it just never goes that way.” “This is a great time for somebody to start something new that we can build up over time and pass on to the generations to come,” Drake said before signing off. Drake says the #GRAMMYs are losing their relevance in new Instagram story: “This is a great time for somebody to start something new that we can build up over time and pass on to the generations to come.” pic.twitter.com/MKhS3IjwIj — Pop Crave November 26, 2020 The message resonated with Nicki Minaj, who reposted Drake’s story on her own Instagram. John posted a photo on Instagram of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” artwork and added that the artist deserved Song of the Year and Record of the Year in his “humble opinion.” The Weeknd earlier this week called out the Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys, for failing to acknowledge his fourth album.
