The Weeknd wasn’t the only person who has had issues with the Grammys. Fellow Canadian Justin Bieber wasn’t happy when his Changes album was nominated in various Pop categories but not in R&B. “To the Grammys, I am flattered to be acknowledged and appreciated for my artistry. I am very meticulous and intentional about my music,” Bieber shared back in November 2020. “‘Changes’ was and is an R&B album. It is not being acknowledged as an R&B album, which is very strange to me. I grew up admiring R&B music and wished to make a project that would embody that sound.”
On Thursday (March 11), Page Six reported that Bieber doesn’t plan on attending the Grammy ceremony this weekend because Changes didn’t receive the R&B recognition that he desired. The album hosted features from artists including Quavo, Kehlani, Summer Walker, and Travis Scott.
