I took it as them seeing the reign of "The Queen" ending in Nicki Minaj. Remember when they all came together to basically dethrone her position?
Pusha T anyone? Although that 7 song idea isn't a real full length album anyways. He rather be called the "greatest rapper alive" anyways.
Yeah just ask Michael Jackson.
Yeah Nicki Minaj went ghost on instagram for a few months and everything planning her comeback with the Queen album. This had to hurt and she must be fuming at this.
On top of that Drake shouted out Cardi in his speech. They already not on good terms from him teaming up with Meek Mill.
I always thought Nicki is only one trigger away from losing her mind and doing it. You could tell she is very upset she is not doing her old numbers blaming everyone even down to a baby.
The comments in here about how grammys shouldn't be taken seriously was said loud and clear by the top rap act in the game. Drake is not falling for the old tricks of the people running the votes. It's why he turned down their offer of a performance and the same with Kendrick and Childish Gambino. He could have played ball, but knows his power is in his fanbase who has given him this run at top going on a decade now.
