Kanye Breaks Record For Most Grammy Wins For A Hip-Hop Artist!
That’s right Grammy Awards, Kanye was banned from performing due to his continual harassments of Pete Davidson in his “Eazy” video…
CelebnMusic247.com reports that after what’s already been a pretty turbulent year for Kanye, West breaks the record for most Grammy wins for a hip-hop artist.
The rapper was honored twice at Sunday night’s ceremony in Las Vegas, scooping awards for tracks from his 10th studio album, Donda.
According to Buzz Feed, “Hurricane,” his song with The Weeknd, was crowned Best Melodic Rap Performance, and he and Jay-Z also went on to win Best Rap Song for their collaboration “Jail,” meaning that the two rappers are now tied for the most wins for a hip-hop artist ever, with a total of 24 Grammys each.
However, the man himself was not there to claim his record-breaking awards in person, having been caught up in a ton of controversy in recent months.
In case you missed it, on March 19, a representative for Ye confirmed that an unannounced performance had been scrapped from the ceremony due to his “concerning online behavior.”
The spokesperson corroborated earlier reports that Kanye had received a phone call from the Recording Academy informing him that he would no longer be allowed to perform at the show.
