The Weeknd is boycotting future Grammys and Unveils NFT With Unique Song
While many have accepted cryptocurrencies, NFTs is like rap music in the 70s. Here consumers pay for virtual merchandise which has a digital signature that can be easily tracked to validate its authenticity.
The Weeknd recently announced a new, exclusive NFT collection of artwork and new music, that will be available exclusively on Nifty Gateway. The limited-time auction held on Saturday, April 3rd, the collection includes new music and limited edition art.
Speaking about the artist making waves, The Weeknd announced a boycott of all future Grammys. Before The Annual 63rd Grammy Awards aired, as per usual, there was controversy surrounding nominations . Canadian singer, songwriter and producer Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, publicly known as The Weeknd told The New York Times that “he would boycott the awards from now on.”
2020 was a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and people becoming more aware and outspoken regarding social justice issues. There is a call to look closely at the morals of institutions people are influenced by, how some of them promote racism, The Grammys is no exception.
The Weeknd explained that, “Because of the secret committees I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys.” The Grammys are notoriously secretive about their voting process.
The world is a crazy place, and the digital world is no different. The Weeknd’s NFT campaign begins with an open edition flash sale for three different visual artworks, each with a filtered segment of the new song. There will be an unlimited amount of these works available to purchase for a limited time.
The artwork for these pieces was developed by Strange Loop Studios in collaboration with The Weeknd.
The Weeknd said: “Blockchain is democratizing an industry that has historically been kept shut by the gatekeepers. I’ve always been looking for ways to innovate for fans and shift this archaic music biz and seeing NFT’s allowing creators to be seen and heard more than ever before on their terms is profoundly exciting. I intend to contribute to this movement and can see that very soon it will be weaved into the music industry’s mechanics.”
