The 2013 Grammy nominations have been announced and Justin Bieber's camp is not happy. The teen-sensation was not nominated for a single Grammy - the recording industry's top honor.

Bieber's manager Scooter Braun used Twitter to rant about the snub.

"This time there wont be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE," Braun tweeted. "The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one."

Braun said the hardest thing to do in the industry is transition and keep the train moving. He said Bieber delivered and won people over with a "huge successful album and a sold out tour."

"This time he deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision I don't agree with," Braun tweeted.

Braun congratulated the nominees and said it looks like the Bieber camp has to "stay the underdog a little longer."

Braun wasn't the only one upset at the recording academy's desicion - his fans were also upset.

Dan Auerbach, Fun., Jay-Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean, Kanye West lead 55th GRAMMY Nominations.

"The GRAMMY Awards process once again has produced a diverse and impressive list of nominations across multiple genres," Neil Portnow, president/CEO of The Recording Academy, said. "This year's nominees truly represent an exceptional and vibrant creative community that exemplifies some of the highest levels of artistry and excellence in their respective fields."

Music's Biggest Night is scheduled to take place on Feb. 10.
