<p>Popular American musician, The Weeknd has vowed not to submit his music to Grammy Awards after he was shut out of the 2021 nominations.</p>
<p>This comes barely a few weeks after popular Rapper, Drake revealed that the Grammys were losing their relevance following this year’s nominations.</p>
<p>According to him, Drake said that he was among many music fans who expected The Weeknd’s colossal 2020 album ‘After Hours’, to be nominated but was exempted.</p>
<p>For this reason, The Weeknd, in a statement released to New York Times, revealed that he would no longer allow his label to submit his music to the Grammys from now on.</p>
<p>“Because of the secret committees, I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys.</p>
<p>“It’s obvious the system has been hijacked and people are being deprived the opportunity to celebrate their hard work,” he said</p>
<p>However, the academy’s interim chief executive Harvey Mason Jr., reacted to decision, saying that the organization will improve it&#8217;s awards process.</p>
<p>“We’re all disappointed when anyone is upset, but I will say that we are constantly evolving.</p>
<p>“We are going to take a hard look at how to improve our awards process, including the nomination review committees,” Mason said.</p>
