Rap ignored the 2019 Grammys<\/a>. Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino were nominated across the board, but opted not to attend, along with Jay-Z and Kanye West. In a surprise move, though, Drake<\/a> decided to cross the picket line. As he hit the stage to accept his Best Rap Song award for \u201cGod\u2019s Plan,\u201d<\/a> Graham launched into a speech more concerned with throwing subliminals at the award show that generally has not rewarded him with its most highly coveted awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport,\u201d Drake said. \u201cYou\u2019ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you\u2019re a hero in your hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, if there\u2019s people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending money to buy tickets to your shows, you don\u2019t need this right here,\u201d he went on. \u201cYou already won.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everyone at the #GRAMMYs<\/a> is a winner tonight according to @Drake<\/a>. ? pic.twitter.com\/sQ1NqKXQ7m<\/a><\/p>\n
