Chris Brown is the latest artist who doesn’t seem happy with this year’s nominations at the Grammys.
He took to Twitter to express his displeasure for the awards show, stating that it used to hold weight, but now it’s about “likes and memes.”
Brown has won Best R&B Album in 2012 for his fourth studio album, F.A.M.E. Throughout his career, he’s been nominated over a dozen times. Last year, he was up for Best Urban Contemporary Album (X) and Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for “New Flame.”
It’s odd that Brown would be voicing his concerns for the Grammys just two weeks before the Feb. 15 show. Maybe there’s something we don’t know? Read his series of tweets, below.
#GRAMMY? This is probably the main reason i love being free to create any kind of music I want. Too many people kiss ass And work less
If u turn on ya radio right now I promise within the hour you will hear CHRIS BROWN on damn near half the songs or I've cowritten.
The awards used to mean something. Now it's about likes, and memes,
I'm thankful to my fans, I am able to be the best artist I can without having to conform to the ways of my peers.I also need my commission.
