Meek Mill has taken aim at the Grammys over Killer Mike‘s arrest and Rod Wave being snubbed.
The “Dreams & Nightmares” MC took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday (February 4) to express his dismay with the Recording Academy, questioning not only the “decision making” behind the winners but the “timing” of Mike’s arrest, which came after he won three awards.

“I don’t fuck with the Grammies … I always to always have big Grammy parties and have the heaviest business and biggest entertainments with us at the night because we actually have real influence on the culture! Grammies is not the play!” he began.
“Propaganda at an all time high too …. I love killer Mike big inspiration to me! He need more awards for the things he does for the culture! But getting 3 Grammies and getting arrested immediately after insanity … they award giving timing is very off to me.”

He added: “To arrest killer Mike immediately after the Grammies propaganda…. A lot of people are questioning the decision making and bases of the award choosing in the gen z era… their timing to award black men be totally off!”
Showing support for Rod Wave, who has yet to receive a single Grammy nomination despite carving out a successful career for himself, Meek wrote: “Was rod wave nominated for a Grammy or nah because he’s not signed to a bunch of lawyers to steal his brand.

Killer Mike was arrested over an alleged altercation with security at the Grammys just hours after winning Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.
TMZ obtained footage of both the alleged incident and arrest, which saw Mike escorted out of the awards ceremony in handcuffs.

He is alleged to have knocked down a security guard for not moving out of his way, although this isn’t seen in the footage.
According to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department records, Mike was booked on a misdemeanor battery charge through a citizen’s arrest and released on his own recognizance hours later.
The Run The Jewels MC has since broken his silence on the incident, describing it as a minor “speed bump” in an otherwise enjoyable night.
Meek Mill isn’t the only rapper to express frustration with this year’s Grammys. JAY-Z called out the Recording Academy while accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award during Sunday’s ceremony.

Hov appeared on stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and used his speech to take aim at the organization for continually snubbing his wife Beyoncé in the Album of the Year category.
“We want y’all to get it right,” he said, standing alongside his 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. “We love y’all, we love y’all, we just want y’all to get it right. At least get it close to right.

“Obviously it’s subjective because, you know, it’s music and it’s opinion-based, but some things… I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year!”
