Video: John Legend Receives His Replacement Grammy
After John Legend’s nephew damaged one of his six coveted Grammys, the soul man took to Twitter, writing, “Casualty of the nephews staying with me. I hope they send replacement Grammys.”
Well, his prayers have been answered. The Recording Academy saw Mr. Legend’s tweet and hooked him up with a shiny new Grammy. Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow presented him with the replacement award for Best R&B Album for Get Lifted, which he originally won in 2006.
“I came to the right place,” joked Legend while accepting the fresh Grammy. “Thank you very much. I do not take these for granted, I am very appreciative of them. I will try to protect them in a better way. I am just happy there is restitution. My nephew and I will have to have a talk the next time he comes over.”
