The Houston-born artist replied when TMZ asked what she thinks about the Grammys being rigged:
"Hell no, the Grammys aren't rigged."
The stunner also showed love to The Weeknd during the interview. The Weeknd recently revealed that he would no longer allow his record label to submit his music to the Grammy Awards.
He said he would boycott the awards from now on after the Recording Academy did not nominate any songs from his latest epic album, After Hours. When asked about The Weeknd's move to boycott the award, Megan said:
"We love The Weeknd."
Tweeps have shared mixed reactions to Megan's views on the prestigious awards. Check out some of the comments below:

"She needs to realise all her success over the past year is due to sympathy and TikTok. Congrats to her, but that was not a Grammy album and Savage Remix winning best rap song because Beyoncè is on it is crazy. Facts only and I’m not even a @theweeknd fan. He was robbed."
@iamsantwan said:
"Sympathy no, and TikTok did help and a lot of artists use it for promotion, I didn't even know he had an album out. I thought it was a song with an album coming later this year or something and on top of that she's been putting twice the work even after getting shot."
@RamRamBiggaLow commented:
"She says that cause she knows her label got her those Grammys."
@TrippyTonkotsu said:
"They’re definitely rigged. As much as I like Nas, his album was NOT better than Freddie Gibbs' album. But of course it’s not rigged when you win."
@jedimadi wrote:
"The Weeknd makes way better music than her, it just don’t make any sense. They snubbed him cause he performed at the Super Bowl and they didn’t like that."
@ovojakecorner added:
"It’s only rigged when you lose."
