This year, the late rapper Mac Miller was snubbed by the rap queen, Cardi B. And, Grande was visibly pissed. In a since deleted tweet, Grande wrote “Trash” and immediately deleted it. But the singer followed up with another tweet, “Nothing to do w her” confirming that there is no bad blood between her and Cardi B.

Along with Miller, Kendrick and SZA were snubbed for “All The Stars” by losing the in the record and song of the year categories. Although Ella Mai was in the race or both ‘Best R&B song’ and ‘Song of the Year,’ apparently the singer was not nominated for ‘Best New Artist.’ 

Although, the Thank U, Next singer won her first Grammy this year, she chose to skip the event as dispute arose over her wanting to perform her new song “7 Rings.” Besides, this did not stop the singer to getting decked up:
