Justin Bieber and Kanye West want to skip the Grammys

In addition, there is also news that famous male singers Drake and Frank Ocean will refuse to attend the prestigious music awards ceremony for different reasons.

TMZ recently reported that a series of famous male singers such as Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Drake and Frank Ocean may be absent from the 2017 Grammy Awards despite having many important nominations.

Justin Bieber was nominated in two important categories at this year's Grammy Awards.

According to this page, Justin Bieber believes that the Grammys are “not suitable and no longer a symbol of music, especially for young singers”. This year, the Boyfriend singer was nominated for 4 awards, including 2 important categories: Album of the Year (for Purpose) and Song of the Year (Love Yourself). Not long ago, there were rumors that the young singer wanted to temporarily hang up the microphone after finishing the Purpose tour.

Rapper Kanye West may also skip the prestigious music awards ceremony despite having won 21 Grammys in his career. The reason Kanye gave was that he “always lost when competing with white opponents.” Another source told US Weekly that the 39-year-old rapper wanted to take a break after his hospitalization and the robbery of his wife Kim Kardashian.

Meanwhile, Drake was unable to attend due to a tour in Europe. He was also scheduled to perform at the Manchester Arena in the UK. The Canadian rapper received eight nominations this year, including Best Rap Song (Hotline Bling) and Record of the Year (Work, featuring Rihanna).

Despite the absence of these famous male singers, the 59th Grammy Awards will be a vibrant event with a performance list that includes many A-list singers such as Adele, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban.

This music party will be held at Staples Center, Los Angeles on February 12.
