The “Persuasive” rapper’s confidence is unwavering, and she says she feels fully prepared for her moment. “I’m not nervous at all; I’m actually really excited. I feel like it’s deserved. I’ve been working hard, so I’m honored. I’m the only female in the Hip-Hop category, so I’m representing female rap. I’m very ready,” she told TMZ earlier this week.
After the Los Angeles wildfires left a devastating impact on the event’s host city, the Recording Academy confirmed the Grammys “will proceed as planned.” The show will be “raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders.”
