(CNN) Drake had a message for musicians and the Grammys on Sunday.

His hit "God's Plan" won for best rap song and the rapper offered words of encouragement to fellow artists during his acceptance speech.

"I want to take this opportunity while I'm up here to just talk to all the kids that are watching this, aspiring to do music," Drake said. "All my peers that make music from their heart that do things pure and tell the truth, I wanna let you know we're playing in an opinion-based sport not a factual-based sport. So it's not the NBA where at the end of the year you're holding a trophy because you made the right decisions or won the games."

He also seemed to allude to the Recording Academy's debatable track record with hip hop and artists of color.
