The Juno Awards have rescinded Nunavik singer Elisapie's 2013 nomination for breakthrough artist of the year.
In a statement, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences said Elisapie is ineligible in this category because she is a past Juno winner. She was one half of the duo Taima, who won for Aboriginal recording of the year in 2005.
