Here are some controversial moments from the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Tetris Kelly:
While the Grammys are a night of celebrating music, it doesn't come without its fair share of controversy.
Presenter:
The Grammy goes to Killer Mike.
Tetris Kelly:
Killer Mike's Grammy Day was one for the books. He took home three trophies at the Grammy premiere ceremony and won every award for which he was nominated.
Killer Mike:
I want to thank everyone who dares to believe that art can change the world.
Tetris Kelly:
But even before the broadcast began, The Hollywood Reporter captured Killer Mike in handcuffs being removed from the Crypto.com Arena. According to Los Angeles police, he was arrested for an altercation at the event. Killer Mike was booked on misdemeanor assault and released that same night. Speaking of rap Grammys, one of Killer Mike's awards, best rap song, was mistakenly announced as won by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice for “Barbie World.” Many Barbz were upset because this would have been Nicki Minaj's first Grammy after 12 nominations.
When it came time for the show, Jay-Z criticized the Recording Academy for recognizing Beyoncé's music but never awarded her its album of the year.
Jay Z:
I don't want to shame this young woman, but she has more Grammys than anyone and she's never won album of the year, so even by your own metrics, that doesn't work.
Tetris Kelly:
Behind the scenes, Miley Cyrus shouted Flavor Flav.
Miley Cyrus:
You know it's me! I have done it! You no longer believe I'm Gwen Stefani!
Tetris Kelly:
But of course it was all in good fun.
