Drake and Kanye West dropped two of the year's biggest albums — their awards odds could add another wrinkle to the Grammys’ complicated relationship with rap.
The two rap figures who have the most volatile relationship with the academy also happen to be arguably the two biggest names in the genre, as well as the artists behind two of the biggest and most-buzzed-about albums of 2021: Kanye West and Drake. West’s longtime irascibility toward awards shows was inextricable from his rise to superstardom in the mid-2000s, and his furious reactions to losses and snubs routinely made headlines.
Drake’s Grammy beefing has been less spectacular but similarly acrimonious. In a 2017 podcast interview, he said he “didn’t even want” the two rap Grammys he won for his smash “Hotline Bling,” which he didn’t consider a rap song: “The only category that they can manage to fit me in is in a rap category, maybe because I’ve rapped in the past or because I’m Black.” The next year, he famously declined to submitfor Grammy consideration and did not attend the ceremony.
