The Weeknd Responds to 2021 Grammys Snub: ‘The Grammys Remain Corrupt’
He did have that one sick song from 2K tho, Blinding Lights. For that alone (him having the only song I am aware of this entire year), he wins my award!
“The Grammys remain corrupt,” the After Hours singer declared on Twitter hours after the nominations were announced. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency…”
A source close to the situation alleges that the Weeknd’s shutout followed weeks of discussions about a possible performance at the January ceremony. “There were many conversations between the Grammys and the Weeknd team about his performance slated for the 2021 Grammys,” the source says. “There was an ultimatum given resulting in a struggle over him also playing the Super Bowl that went on for some time and was eventually agreed upon that he would perform at both events… [The Recording Academy] had all these convos with the Weeknd team in the past month, and today on November 24th, the Weeknd had not one nomination and is now completely ignored by the Grammys.”
