Wretch 32 has admitted that he felt angry when he wasn't nominated for any Brit Awards.
The rapper, who scored three top five hits last year, said his fans helped him get over the snub.
"The Brits are such a big deal, it would have been huge to have been nominated. But after an hour of being angry, I just sat back and went, 'Hey, it wasn't meant to be'," he told the Daily Star.
"It's sad not to be nominated, but if you're not in the running when everybody knows you should have been, then that's cool. When you get massive love from supporters, none of the other stuff matters."
He added: "It may look like someone's had overnight success, but that's never the case. People don't realise how hard it is to get here."
Wretch 32 also confessed that he wants to play at BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend later this year, alongside Florence + the Machine, Leona Lewis, Plan B and Tinie Tempah.
