INFLUENCERS | Michelle Obama Wins Grammy For Best Spoken Word Album

Lil Nas X, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and …Michelle Obama? Yep.

The former first lady can now add Grammy winner to her resume, after snagging the award on music’s biggest night for Best Spoken World Album, for the audiobook of her memoir “Becoming”.

Her win on Sunday gives the Obama household its third Grammy: former president Barak Obama has already snagged two Grammy in the same category for his books.

She faced an eccentric group of rivals that include Michael Diamond and Adam Horvitz of the Beasty Boys for “Beastie Boys Book” and John Waters, the director – performer known hor his transgressive cult film “Mr. Know-It-All”.

Released in late 2018, “Becoming” saw the former first lady slam President Donald for questioning her husband’s citizenship and promoting the nation that he was born abroad.

“The whole (birther) thing was crazy and mean – spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed”, Obama wrote.

America’s first black first lady also dug into her personal life in her book, expounding on issues including a miscarriage, using in – vitro fertilization to conceive her daughters and marriage counseling.
