The Weeknd, Justin Bieber And Nicki Minaj Pin Grammy’s For Corruption

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news November 25, 2020

Hours after the 2021 Grammys nominations were announced on Tuesday, 24, The Weeknd called out to the Grammys because he felt displeased.

‘’The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans, and the industry transparency,’’ the Blinding Lights singer Tweeted on Tuesday.

He got completely shut out by the Recording Academy despite his After Hours album and its many singles being a staple on the airwaves. During the year, he had two singles land in the top 10 on the Billboard charts and six songs make it on the Billboard Global 200 list.

However, The Weeknd didn’t stand against the Academy alone. Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj also threw shade at the awards show on social media for their own reasons.

Justin Bieber voiced issues with his album, Changes, being classified as a pop album and not an R&B record.

‘’Please don’t mistake this as me being ungrateful, these are just my thoughts take em or leave em. Thank you to the people who fought for me to even have any noms,’’ he wrote.

He said he is very meticulous and intentional when he writes his music and he made an R&B album, Changes. Therefore, he found it a bit odd and weird that it was classified as a pop album. He concluded by saying he absolutely loves pop music but it just wasn’t what he set out to do this time around.

For Nicki Minaj, she brought up a past Grammys issue after Bon Iver earned a nod for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. This was for his collaboration with Taylor Swift on ‘’Exile.’’

She said the Grammys didn’t give her the award for best new artiste when she had 7 songs simultaneously charting on Billboard. she was up against Bon Iver, which is a folk group founded by Justin Vernon in 2012, for Best New Artiste of the year, which she lost.

Bon Iver also took home the trophy for Alternative Music Album that year. The ‘’Anaconda’’ rapper, however, has yet to win a Grammy.
