Fantasia Barrino boycotted Grammys because of Aretha Tribute Snub

Why is Fantasia Barrino such a diva? OMG. So disappointed that this news is being reported.

She got nominated twice that night, but her ego was too big to show up. I would rather that she was just pregnant and didn't want to be out in public with a baby bulge than this being the reason.

Fantasia Barrino wins Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Bittersweet – Grammy Awards

From THR:

After 11 nominations, R&B singer Fantasia finally won a Grammy on Sundayfor best female vocal performance, but the American Idol winner was not in attendance to accept the award. Why? Because she felt slighted that she wasn't invited to be part of the Aretha Franklin tribute. Fanny called in to BET's 106 & Park on Monday and revealed to hosts Rocsi and Terrence how unhappy she was with the award show.

"I'm going to be very honest with you. You know I wasn't at the Grammys last night. I'm kind of going through my own little thing. ... Last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin, and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite so I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage so, I kind of did my own little thing last night.
