GoldLink appears to be upset at the Grammy nods for Best Rap Album.

GoldLink isn't a fan of the Grammys. He made it quite clear when he took to the 'Gram to air them out. "Honestly, its fuck Grammys til the day I die. I am no longer participating in that wild ass slave ass political ass cheating ass game any longer," he wrote on Instagram. However, during a recent concert, he elaborated a bit further on his feelings towards the choices on the Best Rap Album nominations.

"It was Meek Mill. I was like uhhh," he began. "Then there was like 21 Savage," he continued before reenacting his confused reaction to the news. He continued to list off Tyler, The Creator, who he was happy for but it was apparently, YBN Cordae that had him fuming. "Then there was Tyler, The Creator," he added to the sound of applause.

"And then I was like, Revenge Of The Dreamers [III] and I was like mmm.." he said. "And then there was this one n***a," he said in reference to Cordae. "And I threw my phone."
