Quebec Music Industry Reacts to Lack of Diversity in ADISQ's Rap Award Category

The five nominees in 2026's rap category were white, prompting many francophone rappers, including Calamine, Aswell and more, to speak out about the lack of Black artists. ADISQ tells Billboard Canada that it plans to “strengthen" its processes and meet with stakeholders to find a positive resolution for the future.

Quebecois rappers are speaking out about the lack of Black artists nominated in the rap categories at the ADISQ Gala.

At this year’s Premier Gala on Nov. 4, the Félix Award best rap album of the year went to Loud’s Douze sur douze. This year’s five nominees were Loud, Calamine, Aswell, Kinji00 and Fouki — all of whom are white.
