Ahead Of The Grammy Award Peak Event, Zayn Malik Sindir About The Transparency Of Nomination Elections
JAKARTA - Suddenly, singer Zayn Malik teased the Grammy Award on Twitter on Tuesday.
In the tweet, Malik wrote no consideration for nominations if you don't shake hands and send gifts. "Next year I will send you a basket of confectionery."
Fuck the grammys and everyone associated. Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there's no nomination considerations. Next year I'll send you a basket of confectionary.

Hours later, he returned to Twitter and tweeted that not because his album was not nominated, but that he needed transparency in the nomination process. This process also avoids favoritism, racism and politics.
His latest album, Nobody is Listening, did not qualify for the 63rd Grammy Award nomination because it was released in January, five months after registration ended on August 31, 2020.
Malik became one of the musicians who asked for transparency in the selection of nominations. Previously, musicians such as The Weeknd, Drake, and Halsey had voiced the same thing.
The culmination of the 63rd Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 14th on CBS.
