After withholding his last two albums from consideration at the Grammy Awards, Drake has submitted his joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, for consideration for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. The duo also submitted the singles “Rich Flex” and “Spin Bout U” for consideration in five different award categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Melodic Rap Performance. Drake’s collaborations with Travis Scott (“Meltdown”) and Young Thug (“Oh U Want”) have also been submitted.
As The Hollywood Reporter notes, it’s possible that people other than Drake and 21 Savage submitted Her Loss and its songs for Grammy consideration. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Drake, 21 Savage and the Recording Academy for comment and more information.
Drake has won five Grammy Awards, yet, in recent years he has skipped the show and criticized the Recording Academy’s nomination process. In 2021, after being nominated for two rap awards for Certified Lover Boy, he withdrew the music from consideration. The following year, he chose not to submit his album Honestly, Nevermind, or any of its singles.
Drake recently released his eighth solo studio album, For All the Dogs. Earlier this summer, he released his first book of poetry and bought a ring once belonging to Tupac Shakur.
