Drake is voluntarily and emphatically withdrawing his two nominations for Grammy-2022, Variety reports. This year, the musician was nominated in the “best rap album” and “best rap performance” categories. According to the publication, the decision to decline the award was made by the performer himself and his management. And after his elimination in these two categories, there will be no candidates to replace him.

Drake’s departure follows other recent changes in Grammy-2022 nominations: Marilyn Manson lost one of his potential awards (“Best Rap Song” with Kanye Weston) due to changes in the song credits. In addition, Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and Annie Clark (aka St.Vincent) unexpectedly lost their Album of the Year nominations to management.

Drake’s move, however, can’t be called sensational. In the past, the performer has openly expressed his displeasure with the Grammys and the Recording Academy. After The Weeknd did not receive a single nomination for Grammy-2021, Drake wrote on his Instagram, “I think we need to stop being shocked every year by the colossal gap between impressive music and awards and just accept that what was once the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to an artist. It’s like a relative from whom you keep expecting a change in lifestyle. It’s a great time for someone to start something new that we can pass on to future generations.”

Drake attended the 2019 Grammys, but declined an offer to perform at the ceremony.
