Part 4/5:
The backdrop to this moment of reunion lies in the controversy that surrounded the 2020 Grammy nominations when The Weekend received not a single nomination for his critically acclaimed album, After Hours. This unexpected snub prompted him to take to social media, asserting that "the Grammys remain corrupt" and voicing his demand for transparency for his fans and the music industry as a whole.
In response to the backlash, Mason empathized with The Weekend’s disappointment, acknowledging the excellence of his musical contributions that year. The dialogue surrounding the Academy's practices underscored a growing call for reform and accountability within the organization.
