The 31-year-old told the New York Times newspaper that "because of the secret committees" he'll no longer let his record label submit his music to be considered.
Meanwhile, Zayn Malik, whose latest album wasn't eligible for this year's awards as it was released after the cut-off date, has hit out saying that unless artists "shake hands and send gifts" they stand no chance of being recognised.
He tweeted to say his criticism was "not personal or about eligibility" and that he'd like to see more transparency in the nomination process.
However, of those who are in with a shot of bagging a Grammy, female artists are dominating the field, despite only making up just over 20% of nominees.
Beyonce leads the pack with nine nominations (despite not releasing an album containing new music during the eligibility period), followed by Dua Lipa, Roddy Ricch and Taylor Swift, all with six nods.
An all-female line-up in the best rock performance category is also making Grammy history, while four female solo acts make up the best country album category, along with one mixed group - both challenging the conventionally male-skewed genres.
And all-female rock band Haim are the first all-female rock band to be nominated for the Grammy's top prize - album of the year.
Brittany Howard has five nominations, while Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, DaBaby, Phoebe Bridgers, Justin Bieber, John Beasley and David Frost are all tied with four nods.
Hosted by Trevor Noah, there will be no live audience and a mixture of live and pre-recorded performances are expected.
Harry Styles - who has three nominations this year - will open the show, but the ex-One Directioner's choice of song is yet to be revealed.
Other stars who'll sing on the night include last year's big winner - Billie Eilish - as well as Dua Lipa, BTS, Megan The Stallion, Post Malone and Taylor Swift.
