Drake
called
out
the
Grammy
Awards
in
a
post
on
social
media,
declaring
his
support
for
those
artists
nominated
that
evening
As
the
Grammy
Awards
got
underway
Sunday
night
(Feb.
4),
Drake
expressed
his
feelings
about
the
ceremony,
making
it
clear
that
he
wasn’t
going
to
be
paying
attention.
In
a
post
to
his
Instagram
Stories,
he
shared
a
clip
of
his
acceptance
speech
during
his
last
appearance
at
the
awards
in
2019.
“All
you
incredible
artists,
remember
this
show
isn’t
the
facts,
it’s
just
the
opinion
of
a
group
of
people
(whose)
names
are
kept
a
secret
(literally
you
can
Google
it),”
the
rapper
wrote
in
a
text
caption
over
the
clip.
“Congrats
to
anybody
winning
anything
for
Hip-Hop,
but
this
show
doesn’t
dictate
s—t
in
our
world.”
His
animosity
against
the
Grammy
Awards
and
the
Recording
Academy
began
during
that
2019
appearance
where
he
won
the
Best
Rap
Song
for
“God’s
Plan.”
“We
play
in
an
opinion-based
sport,
not
a
factual-based
sport,”
he
said
at
the
time
(at
one
point,
his
microphone
seemed
to
be
cut
off).
“It
is
not
the
NBA
…
This
is
a
business
where
sometimes
it
is
up
to
a
bunch
of
people
that
might
not
understand
what
a
mixed-race
kid
from
Canada
has
to
say
…
or
a
brother
from
Houston
right
there,
my
brother
Travis,”
Drake
said.
“You’ve
already
won
if
you
have
people
who
are
singing
your
songs
word
for
word,
if
you
are
a
hero
in
your
hometown.
If
there
is
people
who
have
regular
jobs
who
are
coming
out
in
the
rain,
in
the
snow,
spending
their
hard-earned
money
to
buy
tickets
to
come
to
your
shows,
you
don’t
need
this
right
here,
I
promise
you,
you
already
won.”
The
Toronto,
Canada,
native
also
threw
barbs
at
the
Grammys
in
2021
after
The
Weeknd
didn’t
receive
any
nominations
that
year.
Drake
was
nominated
four
times
at
the
66th
edition
of
the
Grammys,
including
Best
Rap
Performance
for
“Rich
Flex”
from
the
Her
Loss
joint
album
with
21
Savage,
which
was
also
nominated
for
Best
Rap
Album.
His
solo
album
from
last
year,
For
All
The
Dogs,
was
not
submitted
for
consideration.
Drake
is
currently
on
his
It’s
All
A
Blur:
Big
As
The
What
nationwide
tour,
performing
the
second
of
two
nights
at
the
Amalie
Arena
in
Tampa,
Florida,
with
J.
Cole.
It
runs
through
April
16,
where
it
will
end
at
Ball
Arena
in
Denver,
Colorado.
