Barbadian superstar Rihanna has added another Grammy to her collection.
During the 60th annual Grammy Awards show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday night, Rihanna, who had previously won eight Grammys, copped the award for best rap/sung performance for her collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on Royalty off his album Damn.
While accepting the award, Lamar quickly turned things over to the 29-year-old saying she “gassed me on my own song” and that the award “really belongs to her”.
“Well thank you Kendrick for giving me this incredible opportunity to be on such a good record,” she replied. “I’m honoured to be able to do this with you.”
Later in the show, Rihanna sparkled with energy as she performed her hit Wild Thoughts alongside DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller.
The songstress lit up the room, as she showed off her killer dance moves in a fringe dress with a red flower pinned in her long locks.
Singer Bruno Mars was the night’s biggest winner, copping six awards, including album of the year and record of the year (best track) for 24K Magic. Earlier, his song That’s What I Like won song of the year, the songwriting prize.
Lamar won five awards, including best rap album and Alessia Cara won best new artist.
