Drake and The Weeknd are sticking to their boycott of the Grammys.
Neither artist submitted songs for Grammy consideration.
Both Drake and The Weeknd had albums to choose from. Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind, and Abel’s DAWN FM could have been used.

Drake received nominations last year for Certified Lover Boy and “Way 2 Sexy” but withdrew them both.
