Drake removes his 2022 Grammy Awards nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance for his album Certified Lover Boy and “Way 2 Sexy”. 

Earmilk revealed that: “last year, after they failed to recognize his friend & fellow Canadian artist The Weeknd in any of its 2021 categories, despite having one of the top albums and singles of last year, Drake spoke out against The Academy hoping for them to be replaced with “something new that we can build up over time and pass on to the generations to come.”
