Washington [US], November 21 : Rapper-songwriter Megan Thee Stallion's debut performance of the song 'Butter' alongside BTS is no longer on cards during the American Music Awards on Sunday.
According to Variety, the rapper said she was forced to drop out due to "an unexpected personal matter."

Megan is nominated for three awards at this year's ceremony, favorite female hip-hop artist, favorite hip-hop album for 'Good News' and favorite trending song for 'Body'. BTS is up for artist of the year, favorite pop duo and favorite pop song for 'Butter'. Olivia Rodrigo leads the field with seven nominations, while The Weeknd follows with six.
