His big Super Bowl show was not controversial, however, as last month he called the Grammy ‘corrupt’ after being scorned for nominations.
Taking it to social media, he wrote to the organizers: ‘You owe me, my fans and the transparency of the industry …’
Insiders said the artist’s team Can’t Feel My Face suspected that the lack of nominations was in response to the unpleasant comings and goings about whether he would perform at the Super Bowl.

Mason continued, ‘We would love to have you on the Grammy stage too the weekend before the’ Super Bowl.]Unfortunately, each year, there are fewer nominations than the number of deserving artists. ‘
‘To be clear, voting in all categories ended well before The Weeknd’s Super Bowl performance was announced, so in no way could it have affected the nomination process. All Grammy nominees are recognized by the voting body for their excellence, and we congratulate them. ‘
Asked by Variety about The Weeknd being excluded, Mason said at the time, ‘It really depends on the voting body that decides.
‘The Grammys remain corrupt’: The Weeknd recently spoke amid reports that complicated conversations about his performance in the Super Bowl may have led him to be despised in the nominations; seen in 2019
Speaking openly: The Weeknd couldn’t help himself when he wrote a note to Grammy organizers on the social networks of the time
‘We have eight appointment slots to fill [the Big Four categories: Best Album, Song, Record and New Artist], five in others, and voters vote for their favorites. It is very interesting, however. ‘
Mason opened up about the process that Grammy officials use to find out which artists are nominated and in which categories.

“We analyze every year and make adjustments and revisions in the process; we did this year, last year, we will do it next year. And I don’t think that calls it into question, honestly, ‘said Mason. ‘The process exists so that we can continue to monitor excellence.’
The Weeknd had already taken home the Best Contemporary Urban Album for Starboy in 2018.
It is interesting to note that the Grammy was moved to March 14 and The Weeknd is not on the list of artists.
