The "Porsche Topless" artist's Netflix film Entergalactic is up for the Outstanding Animated Program award. The one-hour and 32-minute flick will battle against fan-favorite series Rick and MortyThe Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal for the honor.

"Love to all the homies that hit me and showed love about the emmy nom. Trav hit me first before anyone sayin congrats. It feels good to know I got real homies, real family out here that support me always."
