LOL, he is SOOOOO bitter about this.

If they had only showered him with Grammys he would have kissed the ring of the establishment.

Yeah part of me is fine with him boycotting the ceremony but the other part of me is like he's only doing this cause he got snubbed this year. But had he gotten his noms while others were snubbed he'd be at the show.

Abel can be picky-choosy about these things.

[ohmylol]

he has all the right to be bitter, Blinding Lights / After Hours was a commercial success and had tons of critical acclaim, it was the song of 2020 and it's still charting high , after more than a year, he was snubbed while Bieber got a nom, anyone would be rightfully pissed.

Yeah, that's what people are missing with that particular point - Abel missing out on even being nominated is a glaring fault considering the success of his album and Blinding Lights in particular. This isn't a great but lowkey/flop song or album not being nominated, this is the most successful artist of the year, with the most successful song, and one of the most successful albums being completely snubbed.

If he got showered with nominations that would've been expected and right which is why the opposite happening highlights a big problem.

yummy has a pop vocal nom. the lack of the weeknd is beyond absurd, it is ofensive.

[butifildisaster]

I hit the wrong reaction! I completely agree with this.

[vibeology_e]

But he should have been nominated and showered with awards based on the critical and commercial success of Blinding Lights and After Hours. The fact that he wasn't is just further proof of the systemic racism in the academy and their fucked up secret committee system

I'd be curious to see if an artist would ever boycott because someone else deserving got snubbed, not just themselves.

Frank announced his after TPAB lost to 1989.

Your hating non black ass would say this in a post about the Grammys and racism.

We get it. You hate the The Weeknd but read the room

[rhenna_navi]

lol I would what? The fuck are you trying to insinuate? Go project elsewhere, thank you.

He gives no fucks about racism, he cares only about himself. This isn't any fight against racism, don't try to delude yourself and conflate shit.

[rainstormraider]

Wait. You’re not black?
