Lil Wayne has questioned his worth as an artist after his album ‘Funeral’ was seemingly snubbed at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
The rapper took to social media earlier this week (December 20) to ask fans if they thought there was a reason why the album, which he released in January, is only up for Best Recording Package – and didn’t receive a single nomination in the general or rap categories.
“As an artist, when I see da Grammys coming up & I’m not involved nor invited; I wonder. Is it me, my musik, or just another technicality?” Wayne tweeted. “I look around w respect & wonder competitively am I not worthy?! Then I look around & see 5 Grammys looking bak at me & I go to the studio.”
