Dar aceste nominalizări nu au fost pe gustul tuturor. Chiar Bieber și-a strigat public nemulțumirea pe Instagram. Acesta s-a plâns de categoria la care a fost nominalizat albumul său. Artistul și-a dorit să concureze la Bets R&B, nu la Best pop vocal, cu albumul Changes, unde va lupta contra Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa și Lady Gaga.

La rândul său, The Weeknd a declarat public că Grammy-urile sunt „corupte”, după ce nu a fost nominalizat la nicio categorie. „Sunteți datori cu transparență mie, fanilor, industriei muzicale”.
Artistul a lansat albumul „After Hours” în martie și a înregistrat vânzări foarte bune și review-uri excelente, în plus a câștigat și Favorite Album - Soul/R&B la American Music Awards, duminică.
Cei de la Recording Academy au reacționat imediat la acuzele aduse de The Weeknd, într-o declarație pentru Rolling Stone.
„Înțelegem că The Weeknd este dezamăgit că nu a fost nominalizat”. „Și eu am fost surprins și empatizez cu ceea ce simte el. Muzica sa este excelentă, iar contribuția sa adusă comunității muzicale este demnă de admirația oricui”.
„Ne-ar fi plăcut de asemenea să-l prezentăm pe scenă în weekend-ul de dinainte de Super Bowl. Din păcate, în fiecare an există mai puține nominalizări decât numărul artiștilor care ar fi meritat să fie nominalizați”.
„Pentru a fi clar, votul la toate categoriile s-a încheiat înainte de a fi anunțat show-ul lui The Weeknd la Super Bowl, astfel că acest lucru nu ar fi putut influența în vreun fel procesul nominalizărilor”.
