Grammys 2024: Recording Academy Mistakenly Announces Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice As Winners, Fans React
Nicki Minaj fans voiced their disapproval after a Grammys error initially placed her in the wrong category, sparking accusations of sabotage against the artist.
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.
