And the award for most unexpectedly hilarious
Grammys moment goes to ... Sharon Osbourne.
The former X Factor judge and her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, stopped by the 62nd annual ceremony on Sunday night to somewhat confusingly present the trophy for Best Rap/Sung Performance.While the their appearance was welcomed by the crowd, especially in light of the singer recently opening up about his Parkinson’s diagnosis, fans watching along at home were understandably puzzled to see them onstage.
Given the couple’s rock
music pedigree, maybe a different category would’ve been a better fit, but Sharon charged ahead, butchering the names of rap stars like DJ Khaled, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Lil Nas X and more.

But Sharon’s pronunciation of the song names and the artists in the category quickly won the internet’s favour, with many fans poking fun at her on social media. ya’ll gotta have Sharon Osbourne host the BET Awards I’m CRINE— Terron Moore (@Terr) January 27, 2020Sharon Osbourne reading off the Rap/Sung nominees is actually lifting my spirit.— Craig Bro Dude (@CraigSJ) January 27, 2020I will never forgive the Grammy’s for having Sharon Osbourne get up on this stage and say “drip too hard”. 😭— Zé Taylor (@FATHERBONNET) January 27, 2020You would think with the amount of times DJ Khaled announces himself, Sharon Osbourne would know how to say his name #GRAMMYs— Marcus Jones (@marcus_jones) January 27, 2020Sharon Osbourne is only allowed to say rappers name from here on out— Nick Lehmann (@NickStopTalking) January 27, 2020Sharon Osbourne must announce alllll the nominations from here on out #GRAMMYspic.twitter.com/9tZ5G6ybJE— EdwardBoutique (@Edwardboutique) January 27, 2020Sharon Osbourne is having the time of her life announcing names she's never heard in her life #GRAMMYs— HUGH!
