According to some sources close to the artists, the three plan on boycotting one of the most important nights in music.

The 2017 Grammy Awards will take place on February 12.

According to TMZ, Justin Bieber already has other plans that night. He is nominated, though. He thinks that the awards are neither “relevant nor representative” when it comes to younger people.

An insider says that Drake will be a no-show too. He is nominated in lots of categories, though, in eight.

With eight nominations as well, Kanye West doesn’t plan to show up.

Last year, him and Kim Kardashians both came. This year, he won’t be there because of racism.

He has a theory that when he is nominated in a category with a White singer, he never wins.

In spite of that, he has an impressionable collection of awards: 21.

Frank Ocean, who had one of the best albums last year, “Blonde”, didn’t submit it. His album was much-waited, coming after a pretty long break.

Last November, Ocean declared that the awards don’t “seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from.”

He thinks that the system isn’t good anymore. People are nominated or awarded based on this system, that is wrecked.

Many artists feel like they are discriminated, especially at such awards.

For example, at last year’s Academy Awards, actors also boycotted the event as Black artists weren’t nominated although there were many that deserved.
