Beyonce Is Now The Grammy Award Winner Of All-Time
Beyonce made history when she set a new record for most Grammy Award wins on Sunday (05.02.23).
The 41-year-old singer had started the day three victories behind composer Sir Georg Solti – who secured his 31st Grammy in 1997 – but victories in the Best R+B Song, Plastic Off the Sofa’, Best Song Written for Visual Media, and Best Traditional R+B Performance categories saw her equal his haul, and she went one better when ‘Renaissance’ won Best Dance/Electronic Recording.
Beyonce – who also has the joint most Grammy nominations alongside her husband Jay-Z with 88 each – said: “I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night. I wanna thank God for protecting me.
“Thank you, God. I’d like to thank my Uncle Jonny, who’s not here but he’s here in spirit. I’d like to thank my parents — my father, and my mother, for loving me and pushing me.
“I’d like to thank my beautiful husband and my beautiful three children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys.”
Elsewhere at the ceremony, there were surprise wins in most of the major categories, with Harry Styles beating the likes of Beyonce, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, and Coldplay to Record of the Year for Harry’s House, and Bonnie Raitt triumphing in Song of the Year.
Lizzo won Record of the Year for ‘About Damn Time’ and after dedicating her win to the late Prince, she heaped praise on fellow nominee Beyonce.
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny opened the show with a lively performance paying tribute to his native Puerto Rico, while other notable performances included a Motown medley from Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and WanMor, who were joined by Chris Stapleton on guitar, an explosive rendition of ‘Unholy’ from Sam Smith and Kim Petras after they had won the Best Pop Duo/ Group Performance accolade, and a hip-hop tribute that spanned over 15 minutes and saw more than 30 artists take to the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
In what has already been described as one of the best-ever performances at the event, the likes of Salt-N-Pepa, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Queen Latifah, and Busta Rhymes celebrated the 50th anniversary of the genre.
Police were called to Rihanna’s home on Thursday (23.03.23) after a man arrived at the house with the intention of proposing to the singer.
The unnamed guy had travelled from South Carolina to Los Angeles and walked up the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker’s house but was almost immediately stopped by her security team.
After telling them of his intentions, the staff called cops and the officers handcuffed the man, put hi in a squad car and had a “serious chat about his intentions”, TMZ reports.
It was determined the man hadn’t broken any laws but he was asked to leave and told not to return.
It is unclear if pregnant Rihanna – who has a 10-month-old son with partner A$AP Rocky – was at home at the time.
This isn’t the first time an unwanted visitor has been to her house.
In 2018, a guy named Eduardo Leon spent 12 hours inside Rihanna’s house last May before he was found by the 35-year-old singer’s assistant.
When he was arrested by police, he claimed he intended on having sex with Rihanna – who was not home at the time – though he insisted he would not have done it without her consent.
He later pleaded guilty to stalking, vandalism and resisting arrest and was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to participate in a Office of Diversion and Re-entry (ODR) programme, which is designed for offenders who have “mental health and/or substance use disorders, including persons who are homeless”.
Rihanna was also granted a criminal protection order against him.
Meanwhile, in 2015, investigators questioned a man who had sent the ‘Umbrella’ singer death threats and taken selfies outside her mansion, whilst in 2014, police in New York arrested a man after he showed up at her SoHo home to deliver notes to the star, after having already sent multiple letters to her Los Angeles address.
Former Miss Universe Kenya Rachel Mbuki has announced the end of her marriage from her Russian husband, Dmitry Litvishkova.
The multi-talented personality, made the announcement on Instagram expressing her regret on the decision and adding that she would be filing for divorce.
“It is with much regret that I announce that my husband and I have come to the tough decision to end our marriage. We are currently separated, and I am filing for divorce,” Mbuki wrote.
The US-based beauty queen also appealed for privacy as she navigated the tough season, asking the public for their ‘kindness and consideration’.
Mbuki also thanked her close friends and family for their support and acknowledged that the announcement came as a shock to them.
The shocking divorce comes after 15 years of being together and their colourful wedding in Hawaii after eloping during the pandemic in 2020.
