Hmm…, although it is weird that he did not get a nomination, I’m not sure about this story since many artists who have headlined the Superbowl over the years still managed to get nominated the same year.

Also, as one poster mentioned The Weeknd’s comments towards Usher earlier this year. I am wondering if those comments hurt him towards voters? Considering many of his music peers are in the committee. Regardless of Usher’s personal issues in recent years, he still has a good level of respect.

His people are also telling Variety there was likely retribution over the Super Bowl negotiations. So this is a team effort.

so basically he is surrounded by yes people that encourage it. Lovely

He has every damn right to advocate for himself, his career, and his fans the DAY of losing out on fully deserved Grammy nominations.

there is a difference ebetween advocating and destroying your public perception though. He is near the latter.

This is not advocating.

To him it is, and that’s perfectly fine.

The Weeknd’s basically ruined any chance he ever has at getting a grammy nom again. When reputation only got one nomination Taylor was upset but she took the loss and moved on, he should have just done the same.

Did y’all forget that Taylor Swift won 2 AOTY wins before being snubbed on reputation? As well she got one nomination, Abel got shut out completely when he was the frontrunner almost everywhere?

Abel doesn’t really need to let the Grammys know anything. Black men for three years now have released 3 songs atop Billboard since 2018 and still nothing. So I mean…

The weekend is YUCK !!!

he should learn from Taylor Swift to how to be grateful. She was grateful when reputation got 1 nom, she was humble when lover got into SOTY. be a class act, man.

There is no difference between him, Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj at this point.

To be grateful for 0 nominations? lol

Kanye West got a nomination this year and he was peeing on a Grammy

Not to mention he has dragged the Grammys multiples times (just like Drake and Jay Z)

Also we don’t even know if he or his label will still submit in the future

It’s one thing to only be nominated in the genre categories, it’s a whole ‘nother issue to be totally snubbed. The Weeknd’s zero nominations smell very very fishy. Something definitely went on behind-the-scenes.

No shade but is it possible that The Weekend could have turned voters off by his awkward acceptance speeches? He just doesn’t come off very relatable or friendly. He also looked a damn mess everywhere.

Congratulations to Grammy Winners: Jazmine Sullivan, Doja Cat, SZA and Olivia Rodrigo!
