Kanye West suggests not getting nominated for Grammy Album of the Year is racial

Kanye West halted his show in Phoenix to share his disappointment with fans after his album Yeezus failed to grab a nod in Grammys 2014 Album of the Year nominations, suggesting the oversight is racially charged.

The rapper said: “I’m 36-years old and I have 21 Grammys. That’s the most Grammys of any 36 year old. Out of all of those 21 Grammys, I’ve never won a Grammy against a white artist. So when the Grammy nominations come out, and Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list (poll of the year), but only gets two nominations from the Grammys, what are they trying to say? Do they think that I wouldn’t notice?”

“Do they think that, someway, that I don’t have the power to completely diminish all of their credibility at this moment?

“When you see me talking about what people are doing when I say <<marginalized>>, when I say <<boxed in>>, when I say <<hold back>>, when I say <<people are afraid of the truth>>, that’s one example right there in front of you.”

Kanye West admits he’s not impressed with his two Grammy nods for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for New Slaves, adding: “People come to me and congratulate me on those two nominations. F**k those nominations!”
