The Weeknd has made it abundantly clear how he feels about the Grammys over the past few months.

Following Sunday’s Grammy ceremonies, Lil Wayne went on the attack against the Recording Academy. On Monday, Tunechi took to Twitter where he voiced his disdain. “Fuk the Grammys,” Weezy wrote.

The 2021 Academy Awards, like everything else for the past year or more, has been hit with wholly expected pandemic delays and additional complications that—among other things—resulted in an extension of the usual eligibility period.

Billie Eilish shouted out Megan Thee Stallion in a major way while accepting the Record of the Year award at the 2021 Grammys for her song “everything i wanted.” Eilish devoted a significant part of her acceptance speech on Sunday night to praising the “Savage” rapper and saying that the award should have went to her instead. “This is really […]

The person with the most Grammy wins is the late conductor Georg Solti with 31. Producer Quincy Jones, like Beyoncé, has 28 Grammy […]
Originally set for the end of January but ultimately (and expectedly) pushed back due to the ongoing pandemic, Sunday marks the unveiling of the 2021 class of Grammys winners.

As controversy swirls around the 2021 Grammy Awards, Cardi B took to Twitter to recognize some this year’s lesser-known nominees.
