Zayn Malik sends scathing tweet: ‘F–k the Grammys’
Zayn Malik blasted the Grammys and its rumored pay-for-play rules.
“F–k the grammys and everyone associated. Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations,” an enraged Malik tweeted Tuesday.
“Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionary.”
The 28-year-old singer is not nominated at the 2021 Grammys, which airs Sunday, as his album “Nobody Is Listening” was released in January 2021 before the deadline for this year’s show. Prior to that, he released the “Icarus Falls” album in 2018.
But his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles is up for three awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album.
Malik, who welcomed a daughter with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, is hardly the first performer to call out the Recording Academy. Following his snub for the 2021 awards show, The Weeknd claimed the organization and show “remain corrupt.”
“You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency…” he added.
Drake later defended The Weeknd saying the Grammys “may no longer matter.”
