Drake shuns 2018 Grammys

— Drake’s More Life album won’t earn him more Grammy Awards: The rapper didn’t submit the album for consideration at the 2018 Grammys.

A person close to the nomination process, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to publicly talk about the topic, said the multi-platinum rapper did not submit More Life for album of the year or best rap album. The person also said Drake did not submit any of the songs from the album to categories such as song of the year, record of the year or best rap song.

More Life was released in March and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Drake has described the album as a mixtape and playlist. The album has sold more than 2 million units — based off of album sales, singles sales and streams — according to Nielsen Music.

Nominees in the 83 Grammy categories will be officially announced on Nov. 28. Drake could earn nominations for songs where he is the featured guest.

Drake, a three-time Grammy winner, has had a bumpy history with the awards show, even rapping in a song: “I could give two [expletive] ’bout where the Grammys go.” He didn’t attend this year’s show, despite winning two awards.

The 60th annual Grammy Awards will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York on Jan. 28. Songs and albums released between Oct. 1, 2016 and Sept. 30, 2017 are eligible.
