It’s understandable that people probably believed Anita would be in attendance, because she’s a classic artist. However, once they watched the awards show and she never showed up, they expressed their frustration in the most hilarious of ways.

As fans anticipated Anita’s arrival, one was bold enough to tweet at her, and Anita cleared everything up with a short, sweet response.

It’s nice to see Anita being super supportive of the new artists in the game. She’s proving that although tastes change over the years, there’s power in Black music that needs to be uplifted and encouraged from generation, to generation. Way to teach the youngins Queen.
