Currently, the Grammys are the most prestigious awards in the music industry, and they are voted on by members of the Recording Academy, an elite organization made up of performers, producers, and audio engineers.

Drake was one of five artists nominated in each category in which he was nominated. According to Variety, he will not be replaced in either category, and the remaining four artists will now compete for each of the awards.

In a tweet, The Weeknd slammed the Grammys, writing, “The Grammys remain corrupt.” You owe it to me, my fans, and the industry to be transparent…”

The news comes after The Weeknd famously declared earlier this year that he would no longer be attending the Grammys after his album “After Hours” failed to receive any nominations for the 2021 Grammys.
