Kim Petras says it’s not fair @NICKIMINAJ does not have a GRAMMY:




“It’s not fair! She shaped culture!”


Raised near Cologne, Germany, Petras was bullied as a child and found solace in pop music at a young age.

This year, Petras became the first openly trans artists to win in a major category at the Grammy Awards for her playfully sacrilegious collaboration with Sam Smith, “Unholy,” in the best pop duo/group performance category. The same song, re-released as a bonus track on “Feed the Beast,” went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first trans artist ever occupy the top spot.
