Lil Wayne is not a fan of the Recording Academy and he’s made that loud and clear.
“Fuk the Grammys,” the Young Money CEO woke up and tweeted on Monday (March 15), the night after the 2021 Grammy Awards aired.
Weezy has been nominated 26 times over the course of his career and has won five of them, while also performing at the show numerous times from the Carter III well into the Carter V era. Though aside from a Best Rap Performance win in 2017 for his appearance on Chance The Rapper’s “No Problem,” he hasn’t received a solo award from the Recording Academy since 2009 with C3 – despite having released numerous projects since.
This isn’t the first time Wayne was spoken out, however, as he expressed his displeasure in December, following the announcement of the 2021 nominations.
“As an artist, when I see da Grammys coming up & I’m not involved nor invited; I wonder. Is it me , my musik, or just another technicality,” he wrote on Twitter. “I look around w respect & wonder competitively am I not worthy?! Then I look around & see 5 Grammys looking bak at me & I go to the studio.”

Recognition from The Recording Academy or not, Weezy is gearing up for his next project, which will be Young Money’s third full-length compilation and the first from the roster since 2014’s Young Money: Rise of an Empire. For now, it remains unclear who the label is comprised of and whether Nicki Minaj and Drake will make appearances.
its your music, dawgs
Look at dude in the photo. Does he look intelligent? Hell no.
Grammys (and award shows in general) always love to play with our emotions. We’re always saying “awards don’t mean shit” until our favorites win then we rub it in everyone else’s faces. And we continuously shout “fuck the Grammys” but we still watch every year to see if any changes happen only to end up disappointed again. The cycle never ends.
Actually, the ratings of this years grammys are down over 50% from last year. Nobody gives a damn about a Grammy anymore.
If nobody gives a damn about a Grammy, then we wouldn’t be talking about it. But here we are. *shrugs*
So many complaints about a show and an award that slthey could ignore. If it’s really fuck the Grammys, then why do you complain about that show every got dam year. Let it go. You got 5 of them shits…da fuck you want B? If you hate em, don’t say shit and keep it moving.
