ARIANA TWEETS HER ANGER AT MAC MILLER’S GRAMMY LOSS
Singer Ariana Grande on Sunday had a very strong reaction to her late exboyfriend Mac Miller losing the Grammy Award for best rap album, but later explained herself and apologised.
Miller’s fifth and final studio album Swimming was nominated in the category of the best rap album. His parents were invited to attend the awards show.
Shortly after Cardi B was honoured with the award for Invasion of Privacy, the Thank You, Next! singer took to Twitter to express her displeasure at Miller losing the award. According to a report by Fox News, her now deleted tweets attracted criticism, following which she clarified she wasn’t calling Cardi B “trash”. “Nothing to do with her (Cardi B). Good for her. I promise. I’m sorry,” Grande wrote, referring to Cardi B. “(Cardi B is) not at all (trash) and that’s not what I meant and u know that,” she wrote in the following tweet.
Further responding to a tweet by a fan, asking why the Grammys invited Miller’s parents when the rapper wasn’t going to win an award, Grande wrote, “This. This is what I meant. Karen (Mac Miller’s mother) was gonna have a green suit made.” In another tweet, she mentioned Miller “slept in the studio for two months” while he was developing Swimming.
However, the Grammys honoured Miller, who died in September at age 26, in its In Memoriam tribute.
After receiving the award, Cardi B posted a video on Instagram and honoured the late rapper stating that she is sharing the award with Miller.
Grande, who skipped the 2019 Grammys following a disagreement with show producer Ken Ehrlich, won her first-ever award for the best pop vocal album for Sweetener.
