PlaqueBoyMax didn’t win at his first Grammy Awards appearance, but he handled the disappointment with a calm and rational reaction, quickly addressing any negative feedback.
On February 1, 2026, PlaqueBoyMax received a nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for his song “Victory Lap,” which featured Fred again.. and Skepta. However, Tame Impala ultimately won the award in that category with their song “End of Summer.”
PlaqueBoyMax achieved a historic first, becoming the first Twitch streamer ever to be nominated for a Grammy. His nominated track, “Victory Lap,” was also unique because it was created live on Twitch, with viewers watching the entire production process in real-time. This blended the worlds of live streaming and traditional music production.

Plaqueboymax responds to Grammy loss
PlaqueBoyMax was up against tough competitors in his category, including Disclosure and Anderson .Paak with their track “No Cap,” Kaytranada’s “Space Invader,” and Skrillex’s “Voltage.”
So, after the competition, I hopped on Twitch and just wanted to address the results straight up. Honestly, we lost, and that’s that! I want to be clear – there was no cheating or anything like that. They played better and deserved the win, fair and square.
Rapper PlaqueBoyMax shared a message after not winning at the Grammys, encouraging others to focus on future opportunities instead of dwelling on past defeats. He said, “Don’t miss your next blessing because you’re still thinking about your last loss.”

He mentioned the stream wasn’t ending anytime soon, explaining he was going to continue broadcasting from the red carpet. He then encouraged his viewers: “Don’t let past disappointments stop you from recognizing new opportunities. Don’t let one setback define you.”
Although PlaqueBoyMax didn’t win a Grammy, he was honored during Grammy Week with the Billboard Disruptor Award. The award recognized his success in connecting live streaming with popular music.
