Drake and his team withdraws his 2022 Grammy nominations

[Sauce Dab]

Folks always say they don’t care about the Grammy’s until they favorite artists win then they over it. He straight up don’t care and took his shyt off. Republic records looking at this like

 

[Low End Derrick]

Smart move, Aubrey.

Don't want the cameras all up in your face when "Thot shyt" wins Best Rap Performance

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Grammys should be boycotted for freezing out The Weeknd.

He clearly had Pop song of the year but wasn't even nominated.

 

[old pig]

didn’t know one could do that…I’ve seen folks refuse to accept the award if they won…but to tell them “nah don’t include me in the nominations” is news to me

 

[MajesticLion]

Meh.

 

[VertigoKnight]

For an artist like Drake, what does the Grammys provide that he cant do himself?

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

You have to submit an application to be nominated.

 

[xCivicx]

He knew he wasnt gonna win

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

He wants to give his peers a better chance at winning.



He'll still get a lot of shyt from others for taking up space as the academy isn't replacing him with a new nominee.

He trying to duck that Grammy L.

 

[Darealtwo1]

He knows the Grammys are bullshyt and doesn’t need their validation. He’s already won a bunch and doesn’t want to be part of the farce anymore. His idol Jay boycotted the Grammys for years too

Don’t really blame him when HER has like 6-7 Grammy Nominations and no one listens to her music

I still can't believe they gave her the Grammy over The Box for song of the year

They weren't even trying to hide it

Legit NEVER heard that song a day in my life and it won over Roddy

1.7m views vs 357m views

 

[theoretic]

Republic/universal did it

So he has no control over it being submitted, but has the power to remove it?

 

[Solo_87]

Frank was fully independent with no distribution for blonde and endless was a visual album, which idk is even eligble and def jam wasn't gonna submit it after he finessed them.

OVO is distributed through warner and Republic/universal for Drake.

Yea labels want the bragging rights and it was an opportunity to get the ppl who worked with him on the album a grammy

But if he can have the noms pulled would have thought Drake had the pull to request the label not submit anything from the jump

Maybe he isnt afraid to take a L. He is the biggest pop star out so ...but it feels like a stunt

Unfortunately “Grammy award winning artist” is great for someone’s brand and gets you in rooms where people don’t know your music

basically a Grammy can validate you to white folk thst never heard your work

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

@CrimsonTider on suicide watch

Ehhhh Drake won’t be on too forever and at some point a Grammy nomination could potentially help make him hot again. That’s why a lot of these artist might want to watch how they shun the Grammy’s.
