FENTY x PUMA by Rihanna - Arrivals - Fall 2016 New York Fashion Week

What is supposed to be the biggest night in music apparently wasn’t such a big deal for these stars.

Rihanna, Lauryn Hill and Nicki Minaj all canceled their Grammy appearances last minute, leaving us wondering what is really going on.

Was it a form of Black girl protest against a lack of diverse winners? (Even though Kendrick just grabbed a handful of awards), Or mere coincidence?

Let’s break it down.

Rihanna reportedly had to drop out on doctor’s orders because she allegedly got bronchitis.

TMZ reports the “ANTI” artist showed up to rehearsals and left on doctor’s orders of vocal rest.

Nicki Minaj alerted her barbs she wouldn’t be performing in a recent IG post (don’t be fooled by the ‘mercial):

But it was Lauryn’s “no show,” albeit not surprising, that caught the whole industry off guard. She reportedly rehearsed with The Weeknd and then when it was game time, she was nowhere to be found.

There was some twitter chatter inquiring as to what happened to Ms. Hill:
