The 2013 Grammy Awards just got a whole lot more boring. We regret to report that Lil B, who was recently nominated in CBS' "Gig of a Lifetime" contest, was not selected as a finalist in the "Pacific" region, despite the best efforts of the entire taskforce. A Los Angeles pop-punk band called King the Kid has advanced instead.
There is a twist here, though. While it would appear Lil B simply did not advance, some fans believe he was removed from the contest before the regional winners were even announced. See the screenshot below, which pictures a search function that is no longer accessible on the Gig of a Lifetime Facebook app (thanks to reader Declan Murphy for the tip). All mentions of the Grammys have also been removed from Lil B's Twitter timeline.
It would be very un Lil B-like to feel suspicious, upset or resentful, so enjoy this King the Kid video below and congratulate them on their success?
