Grammys 2024

Killer Mike Grammys 2024

The 2024 Grammys aired last night, with surprising turns left and right. Killer Mike took home three Grammys, though was then mysteriously taken away in handcuffs. Jay-Z got on stage to accept his award, though called out the Grammys for incorrect nominations, and failing to give Beyoncè a single Album of the Year. Not a surprise, Taylor Swift walked home with that album.

Below are a list of general, pop, and hip-hop nominees and categories.
