In a major blunder, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice were incorrectly named as winners before Killer Mike was rightfully awarded.

  • Fans and celebrities, including Drake, expressed outrage and disappointment over the Grammy's mistake, with many using the hashtag #Scammys on social media.
  • Nicki Minaj, who has been nominated 12 times without a win, and Ice Spice did not publicly comment on the incident.

  • The incident has reignited discussions about the Grammy's credibility and the treatment of artists, with some suggesting a deliberate snub against Minaj.
