Mr. West isn't happy! Kanye West took the stage during his Saint Pablo show in Oakland, CA, on Oct. 22 to began a rant about his friend, Frank Ocean.

West threaten to boycott the 59th Grammy's if Ocean wasn't nominated for his two latest albums, "Blond" and "Endless". Although, West's request could be outweighed. According to Billboard, Ocean's label missed the Sept. 30 deadline, for reasons not made clear, for consideration despite both albums being released before the date.

"The album I listen to the most is Frank Ocean's album," West, 39, began. "I'll tell you this right now, if his album is not nominated in no categories, I'm not showing up to the Grammy's. As artist we've got to come together to fight the bullsh*t."

West also claims that the Recording Academy made exceptions for other artist, like Lady Gaga in 2010. "Gaga wasn't nominated for best artist, right? But they wanted her to perform at the show. So the Grammy's secretly changed something about the nominations in order to nominate her, in order for her to perform," West explains.

West then encouraged the head of the Grammy's to "come and holly at Ye."

The 2017 Grammy's nominations will be announced on December 8. The ceremony airs on CBS on February 12, 2017.
