Jay-Z calls out Grammys for snubbing Beyoncé for Album of the Year: ‘That doesn’t work’
Rapper pointed out that his wife Beyoncé has the most Grammy Award wins ever, but has never won Album of the Year
Jay-Z accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2024 Grammy Awards, and used his speech to call out the organisation for never awarding his wife Beyoncé with the Album of the Year prize.
Stood on stage with his daughter 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter, the rapper reflected on his memories of past Grammy ceremonies and urged the organisation to pick the right winners.
“We want y’all to get it right,” he said. “We love y’all, we love y’all, we just want y’all to get it right. At least get it close to right.
“Obviously it’s subjective because, you know, it’s music, and it’s opinion-based, but some things… I don’t want to embarass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year!
“So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys, never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work. Some of you are gonna go home tonight and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you don’t belong in the category. Nah, nah, nah. When I get nervous I tell the truth!”
Beyoncé holds the record for the most Grammy Awards with 32 wins.
