AceShowbiz - The upcoming 63rd Annual Grammy Awards isn't free of controversy either. As soon as the nominations were announced in November 2020, many spoke of their disappointment over the major snub of several artists whom they believed deserved the recognition. Not hiding his feeling, The Weeknd, who got zero nomination despite the success of his critically-acclaimed hit "Blinding Lights", tweeted after the nominations announcement, "The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans, and the industry transparency...."

Also upset at the Academy was Zayn Malik, who suggested that the awards were rigged. "My tweet was not personal or about eligibility but was about the need for inclusion and the lack of transparency of the nomination process and the space that creates and allows favoritism, racism and [networking] politics to influence the voting process," he explained his displease. Drake and Halsey were among other artists who have also made similar complaints to the Academy.
