The Weeknd’s Grammys boycott dates back to 2021, when his hit song “Blinding Lights” and its album After Hours were effectively snubbed by the Academy, leading to him telling the New York Times, “Because of the secret committees, I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys.”

The Weeknd has donated more than $10 million to multiple charitable causes in the past five years, from coronavirus relief to Gaza humanitarian aid to Los Angeles wildfire recovery, and he stepped up again by overlooking a grievous 2021 snub from the Grammy Awards to perform at the ceremony on Sunday,

The Weeknd announced a world tour last week, but that wasn’t the only news. The singer ended his four-year boycott of the Grammys on Sunday, when he took to the stage at the awards show to perform.
