And, as usual, there was a laundry list of eyebrow-raising snubs and a bunch of straight up oddball nods.
The Rapper said this following the release of nominations for Grammys 2020, which had Beyoncé topping with 9 nominations, while artists like The Weeknd, Lil Baby were snubbed.
The fact that Abel was tapped to play the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show is a further homage to his popularity and success this year - and yet another reason why people are scratching their heads after seeing his marked absence from the Recording Academy's noms.
Beyonce is bringing her Black parade to the Grammys: The pop stars anthem about Black pride scored multiple nominations Tuesday, making her the leading contender with nine nominations.
It was another year, another letdown for K-pop, an worldwide phenomenon the Academy has been glacial to accept.

Now, the singer has 14 total nominations since his debut 10 years ago at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards. In shocking developments, her master recordings of her first six albums were sold to Scooter Braun and then just this week, sold to a private investment fund by him (without Taylor's knowledge). And the regular edition of the album was released and entered in this category a year ago.
Saxophonist Kamasi Washington earned a nod in the category Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for his work on Becoming, Nadia Hallgren's documentary about Michelle Obama. "In my opinion zero nominations - you're not invited!"
