Recently, The Weekend said it would stand firm in its decision to boycott the Grammy awards from now on. This after his album ” After Hours Was notably ignored in all minor and major categories at this year’s ceremony.”
After announcing the nominees at the ceremony, his fans highlighted the singer’s absence via social media.
