Kanye West - who insulted his Grammy award last year - has won another one this year, bringing his total to 22.
Last year, the 43-year-old rapper left music lovers in shock as he flushed his Grammy award into his toilet bowl and filmed himself urinating all over it as protest.
The father of-four also posted the clip on social media and faced massive backlash over his unexpected act of peeing on his Grammy after placing it in a toilet.
The reality star has won another Grammy this year to add to his total. It s one of the most prestigious awards in the showbiz industry.

Washington [US], March 15 (ANI): American rapper and record producer Kanye West won his first gospel Grammy, for his Jesus Is King album. It was his first honour from the Recording Academy in eight years, and his 22nd career Grammy.
According to Variety, though just for a moment, but it has made him the most awarded hip-hop performer in Grammy history. West and Jay-Z, both went into the 2021 Grammys with 21 wins each.
However, West s record might be short-lived, because Jay-Z stands a very good chance of almost immediately tying and then surpassing him. Jay-Z is nominated for four awards this year, which includes his tracks Black Parade and Savage (Remix) .
