Kanye West threatens to boycott the Grammy Awards following Frank Ocean snub

As if that Beyonce/ Taylor Swift/ VMAs incident from 2009 wasn’t enough evidence, Kanye West has proven once again that he is pretty loyal when it comes to supporting artists that he feels have been snubbed.

This time around, swap Beyonce for Frank Ocean and the VMAs for the Grammys and you have yourself Kanye’s latest rant.

Yes, Yeezy has threatened to boycott the prestigious Grammy Awards because he is absolutely fuming that Frank Ocean’s albums ‘Blonde’ and 'Endless’ were not submitted for consideration for the ceremony.

He has threatened that if Frank isn’t nominated for any of the awards then he’ll simply refuse to attend in a mark of solidarity for his famous pal.

Speaking on stage in Oakland as he continued his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye explained: “The album I listened to the most this year is Frank Ocean’s album.

"And I’ll tell you this right now: if his album’s not nominated in no categories, I’m not showing up to the Grammys. As artists, we gotta come together to fight the bulls**t they been throwing us with.”

The rapper went on to add that he doesn’t mind if Frank doesn’t win, he just wants him to make the shortlist, continuing: “All we need is a fair shot. Let the album lose, let whoever win or lose.

"My whole point, my purpose, my existence, everything that people try to diss me for is based on just an instant replay plot. Imagine in sports they didn’t have no instant replay plot, and someone could step completely out of bounds.”

Kanye went on to insist that Grammys organisers previously bent the rules for Lady Gaga as they wanted her to perform at the 2010 ceremony.

He ranted: “I don’t know if any of y'all remember, I was supposed to go on tour with [Lady] Gaga.

"I remember, it was something where she was nominated… She wasn’t nominated for best new artist, right? But they wanted her to perform at the show, they wanted her to open.

"So the Grammys secretly changed something about the nominations to nominate her in order for her to perform in the show.

"Now, Frank Ocean on the other hand is very vocal that his album wasn’t nominated for the Grammys. Since he’s vocal, no one wants to say nothing about it. No one wants to do nothing about it.

"I’m saying this to y'all, because a lot of people try to make a scene like, 'I’m so self-centered.’”

You can always depend on 'Ye to tell it like it is, can’t you?
