After witnessing fans’ support, he again took to social media platform and wrote, “just wanted to thank the fans for committing to this journey with me. i love you guys so much, none of this is possible without ya’ll seriously. XO.”
Now, reacting to all such chaos around Grammys 2021 nominations, Interim President of The Recording Academy and Grammy chief Harvey Mason Jr. has something to say to The Weeknd. As per Variety, he said, “We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed at not being nominated. I was surprised and can empathize with what he’s feeling. His music this year was excellent, and his contributions to the music community and broader world are worthy of everyone’s admiration. We were thrilled when we found out he would be performing at the upcoming Super Bowl and we would have loved to have him also perform on the Grammy stage the weekend before.”
