In the caption, Haddish wrote, "The Producers decided to tell me I WON a Grammy while I was interviewing these two young ladies Lauren and Ava, that want to someday be president of the United States of America."

"I was flooded with a such a since of accomplishment and relief," Haddish added. "I kinda didn’t know what to say. I just wanted to cry but I knew it would have confused the babies.
