RE: The Drake Grammys boycott of 2027
Team, this memo outlines our official strategy regarding the 2027 Grammy Awards. We will not submit any of the boss's three albums from this cycle. This is not a defeat. It is a highly coordinated Drake Grammys boycott designed to protect his peace. Do not answer questions from reporters regarding submission deadlines. Refer all inquiries to our official press release about creative purity.
The Official Narrative
Our goal is to frame this choice as an act of noble defiance. We must convince the public that the Recording Academy needs us more than we need them. Please review the Wikipedia page for Drake to memorize his existing trophy count. We will use these old stats to mock the new winners. If anyone asks why we did not submit, tell them the trophies are too heavy to ship to Toronto.
"We are shifting the paradigm of musical validation," said Marcus Bellweather, OVO's Senior VP of Playlist Emotional Intelligence. "By withholding his art from the voting committee, we are creating a vacuum of clout. The Grammys will essentially become a local talent show without our presence."
The Real Reason
Do not, under any circumstances, let the public know that we lost the login password to the Grammy submission portal back in 2024. The recovery email is linked to an old Blackberry phone that we dropped in a pool. We have tried guessing the security questions. However, nobody remembers the name of the boss's first pet or his favorite childhood street. This ongoing Drake Grammys boycott remains our only viable public relations cover. Keep this information strictly confidential.
Signed,
OVO Executive Committee
