The Weeknd is continuing to boycott the Grammys, but two of his projects — his Avatar: The Way of Water theme song and Emmy-nominated Live at SoFi Stadium concert film — are on the Grammy ballot.
Disney Music Group confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they submitted “Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)” from Avatar for best song written for visual media, while HBO confirmed they submitted the singer’s concert special for best music film.
“Nothing is Lost,” released in Dec. 2022, was shortlisted for best original song at this year’s Academy Awards. The Weeknd co-wrote the song with Grammy-winning composer Simon Franglen and Swedish House Mafia members Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. If nominated, Franglen and the electronic trio would receive nominations alongside The Weeknd.
Live at SoFi Stadium was filmed across two nights in Inglewood in Nov. 2022 as The Weeknd performed on his After Hours til Dawn Tour.

French Montana tears through his sinister single “Nervous” in the latest installment of Vevo’s Official Live Performance series. Micah Bickham directed the video, which was filmed in the Bronx, where the Moroccan-born rapper grew up. The clip boasts a glitchy, red-lit aesthetic that complements the bruising drums and sneering synths that anchor the beat by producer Harry Fraud. “If I catch 25, it was worth it,” French Montana spits, with his hype-man in tow, “Get the fuck from around me if you nervous.”

Ice Cube refigured two songs from his new album, Everythang’s Corrupt, which comes out Friday, for two unique videos shot on a rooftop. On “Fire Water” — a track with a heavy trap beat and swirling synths — Cube turns the lyrics into a contemplative poem. “I’ma die of the good life,” he raps, as he paces. “Too much salt, too much sugar, too much smoke, too much liquor.” He looks alternatively pissed off and confident as he waves his hands; he looks like he’s figuring it all out.
