British musician Zayn Malik (28) finds the Grammy Awards dodgy. Is he the only one thinking that? The Canadian singer The Weeknd accused Grammys organisers of being “corrupt” after he was snubbed in this year’s nominations, while his hit single Blinding Lights has now spent a record-breaking 52 weeks in the US top 10 and still was not nominated for a Grammy Award in all 84 categories.
After Weinstein and the Oscars, are awards a money-making scam?
Fuck the grammys and everyone associated. Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionary.

5 days before the Grammy Award ceremony Zayn is very angry with the procedures of choosing the winners.
“Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionery,” the star tweeted. Zayn has never been nominated with or without One Direction.
Are there some truth in what he is saying or just sour grapes? Zayn’s was not eligible for this year’s Grammy. His album was released after the cutoff date last year August.
My tweet was not personal or about eligibility but was about the need for inclusion and the lack of transparency of the nomination process and the space that creates and allows favoritism, racism, and netwokring politics to influence the voting process
