Rapper Chris Brown has taken to Twitter to vent his frustrations with the Grammys, insisting the awards don't mean anything anymore.
Despite the nominations for the awards being announced back in December, Brown aired his annoyance at the ceremony and the music industry in a series of tweets.
"#GRAMMY? This is probably the main reason I love being free to create any kind of music I want. Too many people kiss and work less," he wrote.
The "Forever" hitmaker then posted, "If you (sic) 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 co-written. 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," he wrote.
