Lil Wayne is questioning if he's "worthy" after failing to score an invite to the Grammys.

The Grammy winner, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., took to Twitter Sunday to air his grievances about his exclusion from the upcoming 63rd Grammy Awards in January 2021.

"As an artist, when I see da Grammys coming up & I’m not involved nor invited; I wonder. Is it me , my musik, or just another technicality?" Wayne, 38, tweeted.

Carter released his thirteenth studio album, "Funeral," on Jan. 31. It debuted No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, but failed to pick up a single Grammy nomination.

Lil Wayne is the latest star to lash out against the Recording Academy following shocking Grammy nomination snubs. Most notable was The Weeknd, who failed to pick up a single Grammy nod for his critically acclaimed "After Hours" album, which includes two top-100 hits: "Blinding Lights" and "Heartless."

"The Grammys remain corrupt," The Weeknd wrote on Twitter Nov. 24. "You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency..."

On Nov. 25, Drake posted on Instagram: "I think we should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by the disconnect between impactful music and these awards and just accept that what once was the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to the artists that exist now and the ones that come after."
