DRAKE TAKES HIMSELF OFF THE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS LIST!

On Monday November 6th 2021, famous rapper/singer, Drake, reportedly withdrew his own name from the list of nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards. Drake received not only a nomination for Best rap album, but two nominations that also included Best rap performance of his new song from his recent album “Certified Lover Boy”. With Drake getting multiple nominations, there was much confusion as to why such a big artist would remove himself from receiving any form of award, and Drake fans are curious. It has been rumored that maybe his decision came from a previous issue between himself and the Grammys back in 2019 when Drake got upset due to famous singer from Canada, The Weekend, being left out of the Grammy nominations. Unfortunately, there has been no official information on the approximate reason for his choices. The media only knows it was a spontaneous choice made by Drake and his management.
