The 61st annual Grammy Awards take place at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Regarded as the biggest night of the music industry, this year's Grammys are marked by high-profile defections and controversies. Rappers Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino will not participate in the ceremony, probably because of historical Grammy ignorance of rap.
Cardi B, meanwhile, is considered one of the favorites of his album Invasion of Privacy, potentially becoming the first rapper since 2004 to win this award. She will compete with Drake and Kendrick, who produced the Black Panther album. The rappers lead the pack of nominees with respectively eight and seven nods.
