ICYMI: Here’s Some S**t Your Faves Just Did
The Weeknd said he will no longer harp on his 2021 Grammy’s snub.
As Blavity previously reported, the singer was previously on a quest to boycott the Grammys after the Recording Academy failed to recognize him despite having massive commercial success with his 2020 album, After Hours.
“When it happened, I had all these ideas and thoughts, I was angry and I was confused and I was sad. But now, looking back at it, I never want to know what really happened,” The Weeknd, born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, said, Yahoo News reported.
The Canadian native’s single “Blinding Lights,” was one of the anthems of 2020, as it was released during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine.
Ultimately, even after performing at SuperBowl LV in February, The Weeknd says he felt like he “wasn’t good enough” according to the Recording Academy’s standards, but that notion isn’t enough to force him to stop doing what he loves.
“I just don’t care,” he said. “Because that will never be the reason why I do what I do. It never really was before. And I’m glad that I can make music and not have to think about that. I’ll never be in that conversation ever again.”
“Everyone’s like, ‘No, just do better next time.’ I will do better, but not for you. I’m going to do better for me,” he added.
