The Weeknd: "I have three Grammys, which mean nothing to me now"

[COOOK 76,406]

 

 

 

" They were the 80 characters heard round the world. “The Grammys remain corrupt,” Tesfaye tweeted shortly after nominations were announced — with none for him or After Hours, an album of the year favorite. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency.”

“I use a sucker punch as an analogy,” Tesfaye says today. “Because it just kind of hit me out of nowhere. I definitely felt ... I felt things. I don’t know if it was sadness or anger. I think it was just confusion. I just wanted answers. Like, ‘What happened?’ We did everything right, I think. I’m not a cocky person. I’m not arrogant. People told me I was going to get nominated. The world told me. Like, ‘This is it; this is your year.’ We were all very confused.”

“Look, I personally don’t care anymore,” says Tesfaye, sounding 90% at peace and 10% like maybe he still cares a little bit. “I have three Grammys, which mean nothing to me now, obviously. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I want the Grammy!’ It’s just that this happened, and I’m down to get in front of the fire, as long as it never happens again.

“I suck at giving speeches anyways,” he adds. “Forget awards shows.” "

As it should, grammys are overrated. How is melodrama only 1 nom? How is BTW 0 wins? How shallow is not song of the year? Shape of you over million reasons or praying? Mariah carey? 

They should be cancel a long time ago. They are the biggest joke every year with their nom/winners choices, i mean they gave childish gambino the biggest categories of the night and he even attended, they always being a joke.

Shallow losing over This Is America will never make sense to me. Shallow is by far the bigger song and it was the song and record of the year, it’s still getting 1M daily streams on Spotify alone.

I don’t get why he doesn’t let it go, the Grammys made some CHOICES this year but I don’t see other artists complaining.

He's doing an interview and they asked him about it.

being as successful as he is, having millions of people enjoying your releases is much better than grammys

most of the public ain't even going to remember the trophies (tho they are cool to brag about) you got, but the work you put out

Y’all always say stuff like this until Gaga gets nominated or wins. If Gaga ever gets nominated or wins again, I hope I see this same energy.

Grammys are overrated yes but he shouldn’t sound so salty omg. Like the fans and media are already speaking up for him and he should just keep quiet because he’s making it feel that the award is his to win. Ariana didn’t even make that big of a fuss when she wasn’t nominated for NTLTC which is also deserving

He doesn't sound salty at all tbh. I dk how you read it but it sounded like he was just confused much like the rest of us.

Halsey however exhibited a heavy sense of entitlement like she released a critically acclaimed album or something with monstrous commercial success, which wasn't the case at all.

Hmm maybe to me his words of “I have 3 Grammys... worthless now...” sentence kind of gave me the same vibe of Nicki telling everyone how Grammys don’t define her etc but I think it’s always best to stay silent on this if u have a big fan base helping to spread the narrative that u deserved it. Otherwise it’ll just make him seem salty irregardless when he says stuff like this? Just my opinion

The Grammy's definitely snubbed him big time and it was such a surprise, but saying "which mean nothing to me now" sounds just so... childish and entitled? 

Like of course you want recognition as an artist and it's great to get prizes, but to be like "the SAME recognition I got for another piece of work but didn't get now doesn't mean anything anymore to me because this work doesn't get these accolades" doesn't sit right with me. If he had had nominations, he would have probably been over the moon, so...?

We will always be happy whenever gaga is nominated or wins in any award shows because we are fans, i am happy that gaga gets nom or win a grammy but that doesnt change my mind about the grammys considering they lost credibility by snubbing so many great artist and nominate beyonce even for the fart that she thrown when they only heard it at her home and is not something of this year, she always gets the most nominations whenever she release something even when they are more projects that made  more noise
