People Are Pissed That FKA twigs Didn't Sing During the Grammys' Prince Tribute
Usher and Sheila E. led the tribute, as FKA twigs danced on a pole, then crossed the stage and basically used Usher as a pole.

Twitter was up in arms that FKA twigs wasn't given a chance to sing, and users voiced their opinions rather loudly.
The artist responded to her fans' criticism, admitting she wanted to sing but wasn't asked. Nevertheless, she described the performance as "an honour."
