The 2020 Grammy Awards<\/a> tribute to Prince<\/a><\/strong>had some fans scratching heads.<\/p>\n

On Sunday night, Usher<\/a><\/strong>and FKA twigs<\/a><\/strong> took to the stage to honor the late icon<\/a>\u2014who passed away in 2016\u2014with a rendition of some of his greatest songs, including “Kiss” and “When Doves Cry.”<\/p>\n

The performance was partially to promote the upcoming Let’s Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute to Prince<\/em> concert that includes artists<\/a> like Beck, Common, John Legend <\/strong>and more, but left fans upset when Twigs never got to join Usher on the microphone.<\/p>\n

During the performance, Twigs was seen gracefully dancing on a pole to the side of the “Yeah!” singer, and at one point even danced on the singer as the tribute came to an end.<\/p>\n

However, she never herself joined on the mic and later tweeted<\/a>, “of course i wanted to sing at the grammys. i wasn’t asked this time but hopefully in the future. none the less what an honour. congratulations to all winners x.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Quickly, fans took to Twitter to express their confusion and outrage that Twigs was seemingly not a central part of the tribute.<\/p>\n

“So, FKA twigs is being reduced to a Usher backup dancer right now?” one fan posed on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The audacity of featuring FKA Twigs in a Prince tribute and not having her sing,” another chimed in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone <\/em>writer Rob Sheffield<\/strong> added<\/a>, “Imagine making the decision to not let FKA Twigs sing anything at all.”<\/p>\n

Why the singer wasn’t included on the vocals is beyond us, especially since she was nominated earlier in the night for Best Music Video for her song “Cellophane.”<\/p>\n

All we can say is that her voice would have been a welcome addition to honor His Royal Badness and that we hope someday, we get to hear her also cover one of the late icon’s amazing songs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
