Kid Cudi is back on Twitter to express how he feels about being snubbed for a Grammy for the upcoming year.

Following the release of the full list of 2023 Grammys nominations, Cudi took to Twitter to address his notable absence. Some fans have taken to social media to chime in as they expected Cudi to receive at least one nomination for his eight studio album, Enterglactic which also complimented his Netflix series of the same name. The album featured big names including, Ty Dolla Sign, 2 Chainz, Don Toliver, Steve Aoki, and Dot da Genius.

Cudi appears to try to keep his head up but claimed in a tweet, “Music award shows have been virtually ignoring me for over 10 years. I see people upset that I didn’t get a nom but its ok y’all. The acting world will be kinder to me. Im already winning awards for Entergalactic and when Emmy season comes around, we’ll see what time it is.” In another tweet, he added that music was a large part of the series and that much of the series’ success is due to his album.

Take a look at what he had to say below.
