Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Michelle Obama is one of the biggest celebrities in the world, yet her mother doesn’t quite think so. Our forever FLOTUS posted a text message exchange between she and her mother after her appearance at the Grammys. Apparently Mama Michelle doesn’t think her daughter is a “real star.” In case you missed it, Michelle Obama graced the Grammys with her presence during one of the opening sequences and sent Twitter into an uproar. But Mama Michelle seemed to only care about the other celebrities who were going to be there. Michelle O quickly reminded her mom that she is indeed a “real star.” Don’t you just love those #textsfrommom!

Source: Apple Music/Beats 1 Radio / Apple Music/Beats 1 Radio Nicki Minaj And Barbz Destroy BET BET really stepped in it this time. On Sunday night they sent out a tweet about Cardi B’s Grammy win and put a caption that Nicki was getting dragged by her lacefront . This caused a ton of backlash over the idea they were pitting women against one another. Nicki Minaj responded by pulling out of her performance in the BET Experience and dragging the hell out of the network. She also singled out the writer and put her picture on blast, which is a terrible thing to do. But, you know, that’s what Nicki Minaj does. BET’s social media team is really bad. The tweets be stale, the jokes be late and that Nicki Minaj tweet that went out is just classless. I’d expect that from a Black Twitter regular, not a media outlet. — JESUS CROYST! (@MrMarinKnows) February 11, 2019 Anyway, back to BET. The Barbz are waging war and it’s uglyyyyyyy. Take a look.
Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty Donald Glover Called “House Slave” By Jase Harley This Jase Harley guy is still beating the bitter drum of outrage after Childish Gambino took home FOUR Grammys including “Record Of The Year”. According to TMZ , Jase Harley says that Gambino is a “house slave” for not attending the Grammys to speak out on Black issues and more importantly, not going on stage to shout him out for “influencing” the hit song. Maybe Jase should figure out how to make a song that makes him a popular Grammy-winning artist and stop his b!tc#in’ and complaining…
I have to say, Fantasia is one of my absolute favorite glow ups ever. She went to school. She fixed her teeth the hard way. She got fit. She fixed her finances.

Source: Lester Cohen / Getty Drake had his own moment at the Grammys tonight. After he and producer Cardo took home the award for Best Rap Song, Drizzy decided to let the audience inside the Staples Center know that it wasn’t all about the award, especially if you’re an artist. He definitely didn’t expect to win the award for Best Rap Song considering he was up against Travis Scott , Cardi B and others for the award. “You’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you’re a hero in your home town. If there are people who have regular jobs coming out in the rain and the snow coming out to see your show, you don’t need these awards here,” he told the audience before the CBS telecast cut him off. WHEW. Watch the full speech for yourself. It came out earlier this week that Drake along with the likes of Kendrick Lamar , Childish Gambino and others weren’t performing on the telecast, even if they were in the building.

Check Back Here For 61st Grammy Awards: Live Updates Alicia Keys hosts the 61st Grammy Awards in Los Angeles and before the show officially got started, a few winners had already been announced including Dave Chapelle for Best Comedy Album, Black Panther for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” for Best Music Video and Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock and Future’s “King’s Dead” for Best Rap Performance. At the top of the show, Camila Cabello opens up the 61st annual Grammy Awards with a colorful Cuban inspired set for “Havana” featuring Young Thug. The highlight of the set was obviously Thugger who made a fashionable entrance in his finest Michael Jackson-esque rhinestone loafers but the guests didn’t stop there. Ricky Martin and J Balvin also joined Camila on stage for a “Havana” mashup. When that was over, Alicia Keys took the stage to begin her monologue. She thanked her friends, her husband, showed some love to Tracee Ellis Ross and then took a moment to surprise the audience by bringing out a few queens who happen to be some of the most honored women in the world. A big part of friendship is showing up for your girls—that’s why I was thrilled to be there for the one and only @aliciakeys at the #GRAMMYs . She is one of the most genuine and thoughtful people I know—there’s no one better to help us all celebrate the unifying power of music! pic.twitter.com/8cMhTmsClA — Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) February 11, 2019 Without an introduction, out walks Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Jennifer Lopez. But that wasn’t even the best part — Michelle Obama (who looked like a fine, tall glass of water) joined the ladies and the crowd erupted. There’s absolutely no way you can discuss queens and not bring Michelle O. Janelle Monae channeled her inner Prince when she took the stage for “Make Me Feel”. The Dirty Computer singer gave a very eclectic performance while wearing a black vinyl bodysuit and gyrating across the stage. If anybody knows how to put on a show, it’s Janelle Monae. She did THAT! “This Is America” won its second award of the night for Song of the Year. Unfortunately, he and his bleached out beard weren’t in the building to accept it. H.E.R, who was nominated for 5 Grammy awards, hit the stage to perform “Hard Place” and let’s be clear, her mic was ON! H.E.R. can sing live and she made sure we all knew it. The highlight of the night had to be Cardi B channeling her inner peacock and Offset loving every minute of it. Cardi twerked to “Money” with a tail of feathers and in that very moment, Offset was thinking about dropping a Kulture II in her womb. UHHHH CAN WE JUST?! #Grammys #cardib #offset pic.twitter.com/qD3lVwc3pV — Cosmopolitan (@Cosmopolitan) February 11, 2019 Drake shocked everyone when he actually showed up for the Grammys. The Toronto rapper won “Best Rap Song” for God’s Plan and he was up against some stiff competition. However, when he accepted his award, he treated everyone like a winner. He told his fellow rappers that even though they hadn’t won the actual award, as long as they had fans singing every word of their songs, waiting in the rain for their concerts, they are the real winners. Unfortunately, the Grammy’s wasn’t feeling that. They cut to commercial mid-speech. Yikes! WAIT…they cut Drake off???? #Grammys pic.twitter.com/MFuVCPAu1O — Global Grind (@GlobalGrind) February 11, 2019 Stay tuned here, as we give a live recap of the Grammys!
