Meanwhile, West could be called on stage if he wins one of his five nominations for his 2021 album 'Donda' - even though his scheduled performance at the show was reportedly canceled 'regarding online behavior'.

We won't look at people's history, we won't look at their criminal records, we won't look at anything but legality in our rules of, is this record for this job eligible based on date and other criteria? If so, they can submit for review,” Mason told TheWrap.
Still, he said the organization could refuse to invite a candidate to attend the event.
“What we will control are our stages, our shows, our events, our red carpets. We will consider anyone who requests to be part of this, who requests to be present, and we will make our decisions at that time. But we're not going to stop people from submitting their work to our constituents to decide,” he told the outlet.
