Joining the likes of Jada Pinkett Smith and Chiraq director Spike Lee in their boycott of this year's Oscars is rapper Snoop Dogg. Of course, while both Pinkett and Lee had a little more of a conservative tone in their voice in speaking of the boycott, Snoop pretty much said what they were thinking, telling the Oscars, "F*ck You!"
Seriously, he did that. In fact, there's a video.
And a very NSFW one, at that.
All of the hate against the Academy stems from the fact that no African Americans were nominated for Oscars this year, despite the fact that several films starring African Americans were released. For exmple, Pinkett's husband, Will Smith, was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in Concussion but was snubbed when it came to the Oscars. And yes, there was that little known movie that made a measly, embarassing and miserable (we're kidding) $161,000,000 in the box office, Straight Outta Compton.
Now, while Straight Outta Compton did earn itself a Best Original Screenplay nomination, both screenwriters for the film are white.

"Somebody asked me if I was going to watch the mother*ckin' Oscars. F*ck no," Snoop says, further spitting expletive after expletive towards the Academy Awards, asking why he'd watch "that bullsh*t" since there are no African Americans nominated.
Though his words are a little more, well, NSFW.
Regardless, the message is clear: "F*ck you."
As mentioned, Snoop isn't the only one taking issue with the Oscars—though he is doing so in a much more explicit way. Event Oscars host Chris Rock has come out with a jab towards the academy, calling the show "The White BET Awards."
The #Oscars. The White BET Awards.

Sure enough, we can guarantee it won't be the last joke the Top Five star makes at the Academy's expense.
