Kanye West is mad at the Grammys for ignoring Future , but at least "Saturday Night Live" is paying attention.

The Atlanta rapper will make his "SNL" musical guest debut on the March 5 episode hosted by Jonah Hill. Future, who performs a sold-out show at The Tabernacle on March 4, released his latest album, "EVOL," earlier this month.

Also heading to “SNL” is Ariana Grande, who has performed on the show before, but this time will pull double duty as host and musical guest. She is expected to debut songs from her upcoming third album, “Dangerous Woman," on the March 12 installment.

“Saturday Night Live” airs at 11:30 p.m. on NBC.
