The singer/rapper's Paper Planes track was nominated in the Grammy's Record of the Year category when the results were announced on Wednesday.

But despite her delight with the award nod, the star has admitted she won't make the glitzy bash - because she's due to go into labour on the same day.

She writes on her MySpace page, "(My baby) IS DUE THE SAME DAY, so either way I figured ill win."

The 2009 Grammy Awards is scheduled for 8 February.
