‘This show isn’t the facts’: Drake criticizes Grammys, honors ‘all you incredible artists’

This isn’t the first time Drake, who has a total of five Grammy wins, has criticized the awards. After The Weeknd was shut out of nominations at the 2021 ceremony, he wrote on Instagram that “we should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by the disconnect between impactful music and these awards and just accept that what once was the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to the artists that exist now and the ones that come after. It’s like a relative you keep expecting to fix up but they just can’t change their ways.”

Drake also withdrew his nominations for “Certified Lover Boy” from being considered for the 2022 Grammys.

The hip-hop star was nominated for four Grammys this year: best rap album for “Her Loss,” best melodic rap performance for “Spin Bout U,” and best rap song and best rap performance for “Rich Flex.” He did not win any of the awards.
