Drake withdraws 2 Grammy nominations from final ballot

Drake wants no part in competing for a Grammy

LOS ANGELES -- Drake wants no part in competing for a Grammy.

The four-time Grammy winner and his management asked the Recording Academy to withdraw his two nominations from the final-round ballot, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. They said Drake’s request was honored by the academy.

The people spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicity on the matter.

On Monday, the Grammys has already removed Drake's nominations from the nominee list on its website.
