Chris Brown slams “conformist” Grammys

Chris Brown has taken to social media to slam the Grammy Awards as meaningless after his latest work was snubbed.

Brown won the coveted music award for Best R&B Album in 2012, but his latest album, Royalty, did not get a nomination nod this year.

“#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 [sic],” Brown wrote on Twitter.

Although his solo work was snubbed by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for a Grammy this year, Brown did get some recognition in the form of a nomination in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category for featuring on the song “Only” with Lil’ Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake.

“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,” he vented further on Twitter.

The 2016 Grammy Awards ceremony will take in Los Angeles place two weeks from Monday on 15 February.
