Soon
after
the
nominations
for
63rd
Annual
Grammy
Awards
were
announced,
several
singers
opened
up
about
being
snubbed
and
called
out
the
awards
for
being
corrupt.
The
Weeknd,
who
had
two
singles
land
in
the
top
10
on
the
Billboard
charts
and
six
songs
on
the
Billboard
Global
200
list,
did
not
receive
any
nominations.
The
Weeknd,
who
has
been
chosen
to
play
the
halftime
show
at
the
Super
Bowl
next
year,
took
to
his
Twitter
account
and
slammed
The
Recording
Academy.
He
tweeted,
"The
Grammys
remain
corrupt.
You
owe
me,
my
fans
and
the
industry
transparency..."
Rapper
Nicki
Minaj
also
slammed
the
Grammys
recalling
her
debut
snub.
She
tweeted,
"Never
forget
the
Grammys
didn't
give
me
my
best
new
artist
award
when
I
had
seven
songs
simultaneously
charting
on
billboard
&
bigger
first
week
than
any
female
rapper
in
the
last
decade-
went
on
to
inspire
a
generation.
They
gave
it
to
the
white
man
Bon
Iver.
#PinkFriday."
Justin
Beiber's
Post
On
Yummy
And
Changes
Grammy
Nomination
Soon
after,
Justin
Bieber
also
called
out
the
Grammys
for
nominating
his
song
'Yummy'
and
the
album
Changes
in
the
wrong
categories.
Though
thankful
for
a
nomination
altogether,
Justin
said
the
album
was
meant
to
be
an
R&B
not
a
Pop
album.
The
Canadian
singer-songwriter
took
to
his
Instagram
page
and
penned
a
note.
He
said,
"I
am
flattered
to
be
acknowledged
and
appreciated
for
my
artistry.
I
am
very
meticulous
and
intentional
about
my
music.
With
that
being
said,
I
set
out
to
make
an
R&B
album.
'Changes'
was
and
is
an
R&B
album.
It
is
not
being
acknowledged
as
an
R&B
album,
which
is
very
strange
to
me."
Beyonce,
Taylor
Swift
Are
Leading
In
Nominations
Justin
captioned
his
post
adding,
"Please
don't
mistake
this
as
me
being
ungrateful,
these
are
just
my
thoughts
take
em
or
leave
em.
Thank
you
to
the
people
who
fought
for
me
to
even
have
any
nominations."
