The Weeknd has said that he still won’t submit his music for consideration by the Grammy Awards.

The Weeknd has vowed to continue to boycott the Grammys - despite a major change to their rules. After it was announced that the Recording Academy will stop using secret committees to select nominees, the three-time Grammy-winner has insisted he still can't "trust" them.

The Weeknd has doubled down on his decision to no longer enter his music for future Grammy consideration, despite the Recording Academy’s announcement to eliminate “secret committees”. “Even though I won’t be submitting my music, the Grammys’ recent admission of corruption will hopefully be a positive move for the future of this plagued award and give the artist community the respect it deserves with a transparent voting process,” he said in a May 3 statement to The New York Times.

told Variety on Monday he won't be ending his boycott of the Grammys following a recent change made by the Recording Academy to eliminate "secret" nomination committees. "The trust has been broken for so long between the Grammy organization and artists that it would be unwise to raise a victory flag," he said.

If the Recording Academy was attempting to appease naysayers by axing the anonymous review committees who, for years, have determined the nominees for major categories at the Grammys, it failed to win over one of its biggest critics: the Weeknd, who affirmed his boycott of the awards show on Monday.
