Drake Disses Grammys After Losing All 4 Awards

Drake has called out the Grammys after going home empty handed from this year’s ceremony. Taking to his Instagram Stories on Sunday (February 4), the Toronto superstar congratulated his fellow rappers who won but said the awards show “doesn’t dictate sh1t in our world. “All you incredible artists remember this show isn’t the facts — it’s just the opinion of a group of people whose names are kept a secret. Literally. You can Google it,” he wrote. “Congrats to anybody winning anything for Hip Hop, but this show doesn’t dictate sh1t in our world. Drizzy also reshared his Best Rap Song acceptance speech from 2019 where he dismissed the idea of putting music in competition. He said at the time “We play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport. It is not the NBA…This is a business where sometimes it is up to a bunch of people that might not understand what a mixed race kid from Canada has to say … or a brother from Houston right there, my brother Travis. “You’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you are a hero in your hometown.If there is people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard-earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here, I promise you, you already won. Drake was nominated for Best Rap Album for his collaborative LP with 21 SavageHer Loss, while the pair’s “Rich Flex” track was up for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, and “Spin Bout U” was up for Best Melodic Rap Performance. He lost out on the first three awards to ki1ler Mike, while Best Melodic Rap Performance went to Lil Durk and J. Cole‘s “All My Life. Drake had previously boycotted the Grammys and withdrew from the nominations in 2022. He gave no definitive reason for why he pulled out or why he later chose to resubmit his music for consideration.
