JAKARTA - Musician Drake chose to withdraw from the two 2021 Grammy Awards nominations he received. As a result, his name has disappeared from the Grammy website since Monday, December 6.
According to Variety, Drake and his management have agreed to step down, but it's not clear what the reason for this decision is.
Drake withdrew from two nominations namely Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance with Certified Lover Boy and Way 2 Sexy which was a duet with Future and Young Thug.
It is known that the label is the person who registered the work to compete in the Grammys. This incident is something that is rare in the awards world but it's no secret that Drake likes to criticize award shows, including the Grammys.
Last year, Drake wrote a post about the nominations for the Grammy Awards. He said, “I think we should stop being surprised whenever this supreme acknowledgment isn't something that matters to today's artists.”
In addition, Drake also refused to appear at the 2019 Grammy Awards because the committee put Hotline Bling in the rap nominations section.
“I am a black musician. I'm a rapper, although Hotline Bling is not rap. The only category they put me in was the rap category, maybe because I like rap or I'm black.”
The 2022 Grammy Awards will be held on Monday, January 31, 2022, Los Angeles time.
