Nicki Minaj's fans were left disappointed after the rapper mistakenly announced the winner on the official X account and website of the Grammys. Confusion erupted when the official Grammys Twitter and website tweeted - and promptly deleted - an announcement declaring Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice as winners in the rap category for their track "Barbie World". The error was promptly corrected in a new tweet. Killer Mike's "Scientists & Engineers" actually clinched the award.

Reacting to it, Nicki's fan on X wrote, "Industry owes Nicki an apology." "Like how does the Grammys mistakenly do this to Nicki Minaj? She knows what she is talking about with these people playing dirty games! #grammys," another one posted on X. Grammys 2024: Beyoncé Attends the 66th Award Show with Daughter Blue Ivy (Watch Video).
