The winner of Eurovision 2024 lost his prize as soon as he received it

Unlucky: Swiss Nemo accidentally crushed the main prize of Eurovision

Swiss rapper Nemo became the winner of Eurovision 2024, but his joy did not last long. Immediately after receiving the award, namely the Crystal Microphone, the singer accidentally broke it on stage. A video of this moment quickly spread online, causing shock and bewilderment among numerous fans of the competition.

Nemo, kneeling down, put the cup on the floor for just a few seconds, but this was enough for an irreparable loss to occur. In the video, the crack of a breaking cup can be heard, and when the rapper stood up, he held only the upper part of the Crystal microphone in his hands, and the leg remained standing on the stage.

According to official information presented on the Eurovision website, the Crystal microphone is a unique handcrafted piece of art in the shape of a classic microphone. It is made of durable clear glass with a sandblasted finish and painting, which makes it truly unique and valuable.

Now fans of the competition are putting forward different versions. Some say that Nemo received a prize with a defect, others argue that the singer himself, out of an excess of emotions, put too much pressure on the award. Still others suspect that Nemo did this on purpose in order to attract even more attention to himself.
