The annual bash is set to take place on February 12.
Kanye West and Justin Bieber are both planning to skip this year's Grammy Awards, according to US reports.
TMZ reports that the boycott began with Frank Ocean who didn't bother submitting his critically-acclaimed album Blonde for recognition this year.
He reportedly thinks the annual awards show doesn't represent young black singers.
As for Justin Bieber, who is up for four awards, the website reports that the star believes the Grammys are no longer relevant or representative.
While Kanye West, despite getting eight nods, is reportedly not going beause he has always lost out to white singers.
And Drake, who also has eight nominations, will be on tour in London on the 12 February.
However, the website adds that they could all still turn up if they change their minds and there's also no 'real anger' towards the annual bash
Frank Ocean previously told the New York Times: "That institution certainly has nostalgic importance.
"It just doesn't seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from, and hold down what I hold down."
