The Weeknd, who was nominated for eight American Music Awards, was completely shut out of the Grammys, earning zero nominations despite having a No.
“I set out to make an R&B album,” he wrote on Instagram.
It is not being acknowledged as an R&B album, which is very strange to me.”Bieber was nominated in the categories for best pop solo performance, best pop duo/group performance, best pop vocal album and best country duo/group performance.
The singer said he loves pop music, but he wants to be respected for his work.
“I grew up admiring R&B music and wished to make a project that would embody that sound,” he said.
