Drake's two Grammy nominations for 2022 have been withdrawn from the official website.

According to reports, the decision was made at the request of Drake and his management.

A source at the Recording Academy has told Newsbeat that the Academy chose to honour his wish.

The reasons for this are currently unclear, with the rapper's representatives not yet responding to a request for comment.

Drake was one of five nominees for Best Rap Album, for Certified Lover Boy, and for Best Rap Performance, for Way 2 Sexy.

On the official Grammy's website it states the two nominations have been removed, with no replacement entries, meaning voting for those two categories will go ahead with just four nominees.
