SARA Haines has apologized after being called out by Janelle Monae for mistakenly claiming she has won eight Grammys.
During Wednesday's broadcast of The View, Janelle sternly clarified that she has only been nominated and has never actually won.
Janelle appeared on The View to talk about her new murder mystery, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Sara, 45, then moved on to the singer's music career, saying: "We have to talk about your music."
The presenter stressed: "You're an eight-time - let's just say that again - eight-time Grammy winner."
Janelle widened her eyes in shock and cut in: "No! I have never won…!"

Sara hastily corrected herself, saying: "Grammy nominee! Grammy nominee, sorry!"
Janelle said slowly, "Let's be clear, I have never won a Grammy," as Sara's co-host Sunny Hostin tried to ease the tension by commenting: "You will, though."
Sara added jokingly: "But the nomination is winning for most of us because we don't all have that, so, um…"
This isn't the first time Sara has found herself in an awkward situation live on air.

Earlier this month, her co-host Joy Behar snapped at her for grilling the comedian on her personal life.
TOO PERSONAL?
During the episode, moderator Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic of loneliness in marriage.
Whoopi, 67, read out several new statistics about married women feeling lonelier than single people.
Joy, 80, seemed to agree with the sentiment, saying: "There you are in the marriage and you look at him in his Archie Bunker chair and you're lonely because he's not there for you.
"Some marriages don't work."
Whoopi suggested with a flirtatious grin: "Why don't you go sit in his lap on that chair?"
Joy looked unconvinced, saying: "I don't know, you might not want to sit on his lap."
Sunny asked: "Oh, this Archie Bunker guy?" to which Joy replied uncomfortably: "Yeah, I'm saying. I said it already, you get lonely."
AWKWARD PROBE
Joy looked away, but Sara pushed the point, asking if the hypothetical man Joy was talking about resembled Married With Children character Al Bundy.
Leaning into Joy, she probed: "Is it Al Bundy-ish?"
Joy snapped, "Look it, I don't know!" before gesturing to the producers and saying: "We'll have to discuss this later, we don't have time."
