'You got robbed. I wanted you to win. It's weird and sucks that I robbed you,' Macklemore wrote in his text to Kendrick.
'I was gonna say that during the speech. Then the music started playing during my speech and I froze,' he continued.
He further went on to congratulate Kendrick and shared his message to Kendrick with his more than 2.6 million followers on Instagram.
