Grammys 2020: Tyler, The Creator takes home Best Rap Album Award with 'Igor' after explosive performance
The star-studded musical awards night has arrived. The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards is being held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and breathless fans are tuning in to CBS to see whether their favorites have earned accolades.
The award for the Best Rap Album has just been announced, and the winner is 'Igor' by Tyler, The Creator. Considering this was a good year for rap, here are the other nominations in the category: 'Revenge of the Dreamers III' by Dreamville, 'Championships' by Meek Mill, 'I Am > I Was' by 21 Savage and 'The Lost Boy' by YBN Cordae.
Earlier Tyler, the Creator took the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards down with an explosive performance and fans of the Odd Future head honcho were blown away. The California native performed 'New Magic Wand' from his Best Rap Album-nominated hit 'Igor' and set the stage ablaze with his unparalleled energy.
Sporting a pink and magenta color-blocked suit and his blonde signature bowl cut wig, the performer teamed up with R&B legend Charlie Wilson and both left onlookers gasping. The performance ended with small town-style scenery lighting on fire as Tyler vanished into thin air after falling backward.
There have been several performances, including Lizzo, Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, Aerosmith along with Run DMC. Usher performed a tribute for Prince, who died in 2016.
Lizzo leads the nominations with 8 nods and has won the award for Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Urban Contemporary Album, while Billie Eilish isn't far behind and is the youngest singer to receive so many nominations at the age of 17.
The night is still young and full of surprises and some stunning performances are yet to come. Tune in to the Grammy 2020 and don't miss the fun!
