B.o.B Promises Paramore Collabo If He Wins A Grammy

‘If I win … I will make a song with Paramore,’ the rapper tells MTV News after learning of his five nominations. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by James Lascina B.o.B Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images B.o.B certainly had that “magic” this year. The rapper got five Grammy nominations for his various efforts with everyone from Bruno Mars to Eminem to Paramore’s Hayley Williams. So, how does it feel to get all those nods? “I feel like being nominated for a Grammy is something that’s more about the music to me than anything else,” he told MTV News after all the potential winners were announced. “It’s great. It’s just like a party. It’s like being in the locker room after a football game that you won.” B.o.B’s nominations include Record of the Year, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song for his Bruno Mars collabo “Nothin’ on You,” as well as Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for “Airplanes II” with Eminem and Williams and Best Rap Album for The Adventures of Bobby Ray . Regarding his nods for “Nothin’ on You,” B.o.B said, “Bruno’s the truth, man. I’m glad we’re both nominated. It’s awesome.” Now, B.o.B admits that he doesn’t care which Grammy he takes home … as long as he wins one. “Hey, I’m nominated for a Grammy, so whatever category to go home with a Grammy is an accomplishment in itself,” he maintained. “It can be a ‘Most F-sharps Played on an Album’ Grammy nomination. As for who might take home the most awards at the event, he said, “I think that I don’t know, honestly. You never know with these things. They’re quite the elusive type of prediction to make. I can’t really say … hopefully me,” he laughed. And, if he does manage to snag one of the coveted trophies, he has a big promise to fulfill. “If I win, I’ll make another song with Hayley Williams,” he said. “No, if I win I’ll make a song with Paramore, if I win … if I win a Grammy, I will make a song with Paramore.” The 53rd annual Grammy Awards air February 13 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

It was probably just the passionate yelps of students at Seminole High School, who were granted a surprise show from none other than singer and inducer of mass tween mania, Justin Bieber. The Biebs dropped by Seminole High to present the school with a $5,000 donation from the Grammy Foundation and Best Buy to support music education. The singer strummed the guitar, pounded the drums and chatted with students, who were attending a summer band camp, according to reports . “The students had no idea I was coming, and it was fun to completely surprise them,” Bieber said in a statement . “I was excited about this opportunity to team up with Best Buy and the Grammy Foundation to raise awareness around the important cause of funding music education programs in schools. I talked to students about pursuing their passion in music and encouraging them to keep doing what they’re doing.” Bieber also shared the experience with his more than 4 million Twitter followers, revealing that he battled illness to make the surprise appearance. “I actually got sick in the middle of the show and they wanted to cancel but the show must go on and the fans gave me my second [wind],” Bieber tweeted . The singer added that the energy from his Beliebers, especially the female ones, helped get him through the performance. “Been sick all day…but we are toughing through it. SOUTH FLORIDA…the girls….Im feeling better :)” The singer even gave a shout-out one lucky fan in particular: “So thank u to everyone for being so incredible tonight…and @meganburrier i hope we gave u a good surprise :).” What would you do if Justin Bieber dropped by your school?
