On Sunday (March 27), Drake hosted the the 40th annual Juno Awards — generally considered the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys — at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
The rapper was nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year and the Fan Choice Award, but ended up coming home empty-handed.
Despite being one of the year’s biggest artists, the Toronto native was bested by fellow Canadians in every category, losing Best Rap Recording — he won last year — to indie darling Shad, Single of the Year to Somali-born rapper K’naan, and Artist of the Year to rock legend Neil Young.
Teen sensation Justin Bieber took home the Fan Choice Award, no tremendous shock given his cult following, but Drake’s loss to Arcade Fire for Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year sealed the deal.
