Canadian Musician, Drake won best rap song and best rap performance for his hit track Hotline Bling at the 59th Grammy Awards last week and was unavoidable absent at the event.
The 30-year-old, despite his absence at the event also accused Grammy organisers of racial profiling, saying the organisers of this prolific event labelled his music under the rap genre maybe due to fact that he is black.
"I won two awards but I don't even want them cos it feels weird for some reason. It doesn't feel right to me," he told OVO radio show Beats 1.
"I feel almost like alienated or you're trying to purposely alienate me by making me win rap awards, or either just pacify me by handing me something, putting me in that category, cos it's the only place you can figure out where to put me," he explained.
"Maybe because I've rapped in the past or because I'm black, I can't figure out why."
Drake also added that, the Grammys tried to convince him to cancel two shows in Manchester to attend the event.
"I was pitched by the Grammys to cancel those two shows and fly and go sit in the audience to lose because they don't air the other rap awards on TV," he said.
"I'm really thankful I was at those shows in Manchester cos those were two of the strongest shows that we've had so far."
