AceShowbiz - More winners were announced at the annual 61st Grammy Awards at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 10. BTS (Bangtan Boys), whose appearance onstage had been long awaited by people, finally took the stage to present the coveted Best R&B Album to Gabi Wilson a.k.a. H.E.R. for her self-titled album.
The songstress, who rose to fame by participating in Radio Disney's Next Big Thing in 2009, looked incredibly excited with her win. "It's not even an album, it's an EP!" she marveled during her acceptance speech, before bringing up her team to celebrate with her. "I really don't feel right being up here by myself because I didn't do this by myself -- I didn't get on this stage by myself."
Admitting that she was close to crying, H.E.R. then went on thanking all the people who had supported her throughout her journey in the music industry. Earlier in the night, she took home Best R&P Performance for her duet with Daniel Caesar, "Best Part".

Cardi B then was named the winner of Best Rap Album for her debut album "Invasion of Privacy". The female emcee was noticeably freaking out over the news, telling her husband Offset, "Babe, I can't breathe." Taking the stage to accept the accolade, she highlighted the sacrificed that she had to make as a woman who became a mother-to-be and the pressure that she received following the success of "Bodak Yellow".
"I'm sorry, I just... Ooh, the nerves are so bad! Maybe I need to start smoking weed," she joked, before honoring her daughter Kulture. "I wanna thank my daughter. When I found out I was pregnant, my album was not complete.. We had to get this album done so I could shoot these videos while I'm still not showing. It was very long nights."
