It is a pretty bizarre snub tbh, Blinding Lights has been a juggernaut this year and the rest of the album is amazing
If this is true, even more reason to say, he's right.The Weeknd Allegedly Given Ultimatum Over Grammys, Super Bowl Before Nomination Snub

whatever you think of him, blinding lights should have at least got a nom, it was the biggest song of the year.

If this is true then the tone of his tweet makes a ton more sense.
His latest body of work has left me unimpressed, but I don't think he's wrong about the transparency comment.
Dafuk no nominations? Its his best work since trilogy. At least Gibbs got nominated for alfredo.
Even if you got snubbed, what makes you think calling them out is ever a good idea? It makes you come off as petty and mad over nothing.
Just making sure y'all snarkposters came back for context.
He had the biggest song in the entire country for weeks. A song from an album that critically was his best received, and performed very well sales-wise. I think he's well within his right to be mad. This is a pretty insane snub
I know the Blue Ribbon Panel exists for general field (and they blessed us with most likely Melodrama and Norman Fucking Rockwell nominations, so I don't entirely hate them even if their existence is unethical) but I didn't know NARAS had the power to just.. exclude songs from people who made them mad in the genre categories lol.
What was snarky about my comment?
I provided context that he didn't get any nominations?
This is just not true. POC in particular have been vocal for years about how awful the Grammys are when it comes to "urban" categories. Tyler the Creator won a Grammy last year and immediately criticized the Grammys after it because he felt that they forced him into a category that he shouldn't have been in.
Call them the heck out. So many of these pretentious award shows are full of it and the more people who try to hold them accountable the better.
There's a theory that he submitted his music to the Pop categories, which would explain a lot. They love to throw black artists into the urban/rap/r&b box.
