Chris Brown has slammed the Grammy Awards as meaningless.
The 26-year-old singer - who won a Grammy for best R&B album in 2012 - was furious that his latest record Royalty didn't receive any nominations for the ceremony next month and took to Twitter to vent his anger.
He wrote: ""#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.
"If u 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 (sic)."
