In 2017, Drake took home Grammy Awards for The Best Rap Song and the Best Rap Song Performance for his track “Hotline Bling.” While most artists might be thrilled about this accomplishment, Drake was not. He openly criticized the Grammys for their decision.

The day after winning his awards, in an interview with Apple Beats 1, he commented, “I’m a black artist, I’m apparently a rapper, even though “Hotline Bling” is not a rap song. I won two awards, but I don’t even want them.” Multiple times Drake has claimed that he’s not a rapper, but apparently, nobody wants to listen.
