Abel may very well be sticking it to the Grammys this Weeknd, because he's made the conversation about him and his new album.

Unfortunately, the Grammys will never get to experience that for themselves ... maybe even forever! "Dawn FM" isn't nominated as a result of Abel not putting it up for consideration ... even though it's by far one of the most popular records out this year. If he does ... we wouldn't be surprised if 'Dawn' kills it. It remains to be seen if TW will attend/submit for other music award shows later this year ... much like he did in 2021, where he cleaned up and stuck it to the Academy's voting body. It's hit a billion streams on Spotify, and he remains a presence on the charts. It's Grammys Day, and while lots of musicians and artists are getting ready for the big show -- one guy seems more than willing to change the conversation on Twitter ... The Weeknd.

As per Hollywood Reporter, he said: “We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed at not being nominated. His album had been a huge hit but it was not mentioned in the best album category.

I will not be submitting in the future.” Like, ‘What happened?'” he told Billboard. “We did everything right, I think.

Maybe pull a YE and just legally change my name to ABEL. no last name. So it makes sense that he’d want to change it up after a little over a decade, as he hinted recently on Twitter. It seems he was at least partially prompted by his fans on Twitter, who have taken to addressing him by his first name, Abel. And while his government name, Abel Tesfaye, would be more than serviceable in the search engine optimization department, he joked that he wanted to take it even further, removing his last name entirely.

The Weeknd may be looking to change things up a bit after revealing he's considering changing his stage name to something way more simpler.
