Drake and The Weeknd are continuing their boycott of the Grammy Awards with neither artist submitting their solo music for consideration for the 2023 awards, Pitchfork reports.

The news arrived on the same day it was confirmed that Silk Sonic have also opted to "bow out" next year's awards. While Drake and The Weeknd have declined to submit their 2022 albums, Honestly, Nevermind and Dawn FM respectively, for consideration they do appear on voting options for their guest features on other artist's work.
