Chrissy Teigen called out John Legend for not mentioning her in an Instagram post celebrating his win at the 63rd Grammys.
"this motherf*cker ???? helloooo?? caption !!!!" Teigen captioned a screenshot shared on Twitter of Legend's social media post that was posted on Sunday night.
Legend received a 2021 Grammy win for best R&B album for "Bigger Love," his seventh studio album that was released in June 2020. He was also nominated for best R&B performance for his feature on Jhené Aiko's "Lightning and Thunder."
The EGOT winner previously told USA Today and OprahMag.com that "Bigger Love" was inspired by Teigen, who he's been married to since 2013 and shares two children.
The 63rd Grammys took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and Legend celebrated the win from home while wearing a Versace bathrobe.
The singer posted a screenshot of the Recording Academy's tweet about his win with a lengthy caption thanking the people who contributed to his album.
"So grateful to win my 12th Grammy today, my 3rd for Best R&B Album!" Legend wrote. "Thank you to all my collaborators on #BiggerLove, especially my big brother and executive producer @raphael_saadiq. Thank you to my entire team."

Legend continued: "We all worked hard to make this album and then promote it during a global pandemic. It wasn't an ideal situation but we made the best of it and hopefully gave the world some music that helped make their days and nights a little better."
Missing from his caption was a mention of Teigen.
Shortly after Teigen called her husband out on Twitter, Legend made amends.
Legend posted a video, taken by Teigen, and dedicated an Instagram post to her.
