According to The Weeknd, the disregard of the jury of the award has become an unpleasant surprise for him. He stated that after the success of the album, I expected nominations and even victory, but it was simply ignored. The musician added that after the distribution of awards, he received messages to support from "people, with whom he had not communicated for a long time, the whole musical community."
Previously, the network appeared assumptions that The Weeknd was not presented for the awards, as it was previously agreed to perform on a superbound - although the guide "Grammy" allegedly asked him to choose only one event. But now the singer assumes that the main reason is another.
"For the last 61 year of the existence of" Grammy ", only 10" black "artists won an album of the year," he explicitly stressed.
