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.
But hasn't the viewership of the grammys gone down?

The prestige of it has gone downhill I feel like.

It's been plenty of worthy artists who have been shunned before but that Abel shunning was highly suspect.

The grammys are as important as the fans/viewers say they're important. I think the grammys will slowly become irrelevant if they keep shunning worthy artists...the voting needs some transparency most likely and new blood.

The ratings decreasing doesn’t change the prestige of the Grammy’s and what means in those type of circles even if the fans don’t see it. The Grammy’s isn’t a participation and everyone can’t be nominated regardless of how artist and fans feel about it. That more than anything will dilute the prestige of the Grammy’s.

I hate to say it since I have a rooting interest (Nas) but this tells me he knows

1. Kanye will perform
2. Kanye will win

Grammy are kinda of weird anyways. I didn't hate the Album but it's kinda shocking it got a Grammy nom. To be fair I haven't been listening to a lot this year and at the end of the day it's all subjective

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


It happened just last year.

Three of the five nominees for best children’s recording had their nominations rescinded in protest of the nominees being all white
