The Weeknd has mended his fractious relationship with the Grammy Awards with a surprise performance of his new single, “Cry For Me” and “Timeless” with Playboi Carti. His decision is a direct reflection of the changes the Recording Academy has made to diversify its voting body,

The Weeknd was nominated for one Grammy this year due to his feature on Future and Metro Boomin's "We Still Don't Trust You." The song was up for best melodic rap performance, but lost to "3:AM" by Rhapsody and Erykah Badu.
