Honestly, this is probably one of the most relatable things a celebrity has ever done, and whilst not exactly controversial, it’s a very memorable Grammys moment.

When Doja Cat and SZA were announced as the best Pop Duo for Kiss Me More, Doja Cat was nowhere to be seen and she later sprinted onto stage very out of breath.

She explained her absence, admitting she’d never used the bathroom so quickly “in my whole life.” She added: “Thank you, everybody. I really appreciate it.”

Whilst they were supposedly separated, Cardi B and Offset turned up to the 2019 Grammys together and confirmed they were very much back on

Despite announcing their separation just weeks before the Grammys, Cardi B and Offset arrived together on the carpet, with a bucketload of PDA to boot. She then proceeded to file for divorce in 202 but then got back together before she once again filed in 2024.

Just hours after winning three Grammys, Killer Mike was reportedly escorted out of the Grammys in handcuffs and charged with a misdemeanour, and it was all very controversial.

In a statement, the rapper explained: “As you can imagine, there was a lot going and there was some confusion around which door my team and I should enter.

“We experienced an over-zealous security guard but my team and I have the utmost confidence that I will ultimately be cleared of all wrongdoing.”

The LA City Attorney’s office later confirmed that no charges would be pressed if he completed a community service requirement.
