This is a shame :

(RTTNews) - John Legend posted a picture of his broken Grammy to his Twitter account this week, saying his nephews unfortunately got a hold of it and snapped it in two pieces. The broken Grammy was Legend's award for Best R&B Album of 2005.

The 31-year-old soul singer joked: "Casualty of the nephews staying with me. I hope they send replacement grammys!"

Later he also posted: "Funny how many of y'all told me to beat his a**. Haha. It was truly an accident. I'm just gonna have to nephew-proof my apt a little better."

Luckily for him, the organizers of the Grammys have offered to send him another Grammy after seeing his posts on the social networking site.

All together Legend has won six Grammys in the span of his music career, receiving his first one at age 26.

It's a shame he got one in the first place.

Talk about ordinary.

Actually he did deserve that Grammy...but my question is, why wasn't it on a case or a high shelf somewhere in his home? If his nephews got a hold of it, sounds like he was using it as a centerpiece on his coffee table or something.

Man.............they just hand those out 2 anyone.

I don't think John Legend is a bad artist just not great but he is

certainly more deserving of his grammy than a hell of a lot of

artists who have won them lately. Nice gesture on the grammys

part to replace it.

people get those repaired all of the time. I've read and heard numerous artists say that.

That's why they have a Grammy Repair Service

I find it interesting that his very 1st release under his real name, is IMHO his best work.

Yeah, this is a non-issue. Other then the fact that it points out what an idiot he is for not knowing the proper channels to get the damn thing fixed.

I second that! Even though 2006's Once Again was an excellent record too!

Agreed.

That being said, I really don't see what the big deal is or why this story even merits media attention. Accidents happen, he can get Naras to repair it. End of.

Grammys get broken all the time.

I remember watching Cribs and seeing Ozzy Osbourne and Ice-T showing off their broken Grammys.

i know such a shame he ever recieved one or even got nominated they hand em out 2 anybody go get one of lady gaga she dont deserve hers either or amy winehouse

Like "boo-hoo my Grammy broke". You can get a new one. That's how disposable they are.

Grammy's, what a joke.

Mr. Legend's a joke.

I laughed hard when I saw the pic.

I like John Legend. End of comment.

Basically.

What are they making those statuettes out of these days. I thought a Grammy was more enduring than that picture demonstrates.

Exactly.

The real sin is that Greenlight was not a huge hit. That I will never understand. That was the best soul song in the last ten years. Shame.
