Drake rants, is cut off mid- speech

Los Angeles: Drake made a surprise appearance at the 2019 Grammys to accept his best rap song trophy for God’s Plan and used his time on stage to throw shade at the Recording Academy’s apparent lack of diversity, but was cut off mid- speech. Critics have interpreted it as the artistes’ tacit call out to the Grammy’s as the organisers struggle to diversify the award. Drake in his speech alluded to being misunderstood by people deciding the winners. “You’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word if you are a hero. The R& B star said that awards do not always match up with the talent of an artiste.
