The Weeknd is using his baffling Grammys snub as motivation to put on the greatest Super Bowl Halftime performance.
The Weeknd is still fuming that when the 2021 Grammy nominations were announced on Nov.24, his name was not called once. He had the biggest single of 2020 with “Blinding Lights” and a commercial and critical hit with the album After Hours. The Weeknd — real name Abel Tesfaye — is so hot that he’s been booked as the Super Bowl 55 Halftime entertainer, which was announced on Nov.12. After his truly baffling Grammys snub, he’s now putting all of his energies toward the Feb.7,2021 football game instead and show the Grammys folks what they’re missing out on. “Abel would like to be recognized with Grammy nominations especially since he has won in the past, but he is not going to be upset about it and let it get to him. He is basically going to use the snub as more of a chip on his shoulder for his Super Bowl performance,” a source close to The Weeknd tells HollywoodLife.
