Kanye West is threatening to boycott the Grammy Awards this year and he is furious that his friend Frank Ocean's album Blonde and Endless were not even submitted for consideration. Now Kanye has vowed not to show up to the prestigious event.

During his Oakland show Kanye said "The album I listened to the most this year is Frank Ocean's album. And I'll tell you this right now: if his album's not nominated in no categories, I'm not showing up to the Grammys. As artists, we gotta come together to fight the bulls**t they been throwing us with."

Kanye doesn't even care if Frank doesn't win he just wants him to be in the running.

Adding: "All we need is a fair shot. Let the album lose, let whoever win or lose. My whole point, my purpose, my existence, everything that people try to diss me for is based on just an instant replay plot. Imagine in sports they didn't have no instant replay plot, and someone could step completely out of bounds."

Kanye then went on to remind everyone about how the Grammy's secretly changed a few rules to ensure Lady Gaga could perform in 2010, but no one said anything about it.

"Now, Frank Ocean on the other hand is very vocal that his album wasn't nominated for the Grammys. Since he's vocal, no one wants to say nothing about it. No one wants to do nothing about it. I'm saying this to y'all, because a lot of people try to make a scene like, 'I'm so self-centered.' "
