Surprise, surprise

Kanye West hasn't been holding back recently (or ever). Just last week he called out his old friend and long-time collaborator, Jay Z, for not showing enough support in the wake of Kim Kardashian's ordeal in Paris.

During a concert in Seattle for his Saint Pablo tour on Wednesday, Kanye told fans: "Don't call me after the robbery and say 'how you feelin?' You wanna know how I'm feelin'? Come by the house. Bring the kids by the house. Like we're brothers. Let's sit down."

Guess we can rule out a Watch The Throne 2 then.

Now Kanye is turning his attention to the Grammys. Again.

You'll remember, of course, in 2015, when Kanye launched into a rant about "respect" and "artistry" after Beck had won an award over Beyonce.

Yeezy even suggested Beck should have given his award to Queen B, and threatened: "If the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more."

Now the rapper is threatening to boycott next year's Grammys if Frank Ocean isn't nominated for an award.

Making the announcement while onstage – this seems to be Kanye's thing ATM – he said: "I'll tell you right now: if his album's not nominated in no categories, I'm not showing up to the Grammys."

He continued that he didn't mind if Frank didn't actually win any awards, but he felt he needed to be nominated at least.

"All we need is a fair shot. Let the album lose, let whoever win or lose."

Frank Ocean

Seems quite reasonable, to be fair to Kanye.

HOWEVER, he's missing out the fact that Frank and his team failed to submit either of the singer's albums for the Grammys' deadline.

Kanye insists that the awards organisers could make an exception and bend the rules for Frank, if they wanted to.

He claimed the Grammys have bent the rules before and even cited the fact Lady Gaga's album The Fame was nominated for several awards in at the 2010 ceremony, despite actually being eligible for 2009 awards.

"The Grammys secretly changed something about the nominations to nominate her in order for her to perform in the show," he stated.

Hmm, where you going with this one Kanye?

We just hope we don't get a repeat of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. You know, when Kanye stormed the stage and took the mic off Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech, and said the award should have gone to Beyonce?

That awkward moment will be ingrained in our memories forever.
