Drake used his acceptance speech for the Best Rap Song to denounce the entire idea of the Grammys. While holding a trophy for his song “God’s Plan,” Drizzy took a second to point out that the award he just won was meaningless. “We play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual based sport. It’s not […]
