Jay Z Calls Out The Grammys for Snubbing Beyoncé


In his acceptance speech for The Grammys Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, Jay Z calls out The Recording Academy for snubbing Beyoncé for Album of the Year, despite having more Grammys than any other artist...

Jay also made an offhanded comment about artists being robbed, that the Barbz felt was directed at Nicki Minaj.

This is an award that they can’t buy. In the past, Beyoncé was in categories she had no business being included. Furthermore, the Grammys even created bogus categories for her to break these fictitious records. She’s definitely robbed other artists of their moment.

OT: Tracy Chapman was there. Lookin' good strummin' that guitar with her gray hair. Love her!

You can't win everything. And, just because you have the most Grammy's doesn't automatically mean
you should have an award for a very specific category. To think so is very entitled. What's next, you should have an Oscar just because think so? Gtfo

Shut up Jay! Beyodel makes music for hoodrats and the gay Bois.
You said all that and still cheat on her so spare us all that noise.

I feel him but the next time she puts out an album she will probably give it to her to shut her up.

I was listening to him and fuming at the same time, as if. Matthew Knowles bulldozed the industry, relentlessly ramming her overexposed self down our throats trying to convince us that BECAUSE she was everywhere, she was all that. Bulldozing through the industry back in the day and y’all try to make that the playbook. Snuffing out others careers and so Beyoncé could shine, shit, everything wasn’t gonna work.

At 7:26 you ain’t said nothing but the truth and that’s exactly how I was feeling. Everybody gets something. Nobody gets everything.

The Carters need to go sit down somewhere. that’s the problem with manipulation. Something always goes on and coming in from left that you didn’t expect. It’s so funny how you got everything else, and that one elude you. Now you shady and shading the Grammy’s?!?!?

Now you mad because you played the game, changed the game, and didn’t benefit the way she thought she would. But damn, she got so much more than she did not deserve. Hello?

Why people who win 90 percent of the time can't be gracious and hand it over when it is not their time. BI looks 30 and pompous like her moms.

Michael Jackson has numerous hit records and albums and only has 18 Grammys--8 of which are for Thriller. The math is definitely not mathing there. Beyonce has 32 Grammys for forgettable music, and her albums are just not classics. One single barely hitting number 1 for each album, and you expect to win album of the year? Her last best album was B'Day, and she had competition that year. You have 32 Grammys--the most for any artist, yet you don't have enough. She will never be satisfied and will always be in want. This is actually quite sad.

I don't even blame Jay Z as a husband for mentioning it. I think his azz is just tired of her complaining about not getting Album of the Year, just like not getting an Oscar yet. She has 32 awards (most of which were bought--let's be fr), yet begging for another one? Girl, it's really pathetic. She used to brag so much about having the most grammys, and it's really cringey for him to mention this during his award speech (which I found pretty funny btw, he's such a meme). Now you're just going to invite think pieces that will analyze exactly why she hasn't won Album of the Year. It's an award you can't buy. Her ass wasn't even nominated for Renaissance, and everyone in that category did deserve to be nominated. Sza's album was fire!!

I think it goes to show that she doesn't have as much pull in the industry. It was so cringe that Jay Z says this during his speech, and then at the end, Taylor Swift won the Album of the Year award (at least 5 hit songs from that album alone whether you like her or not)--making history for having the most awards in this category. Beyonce needs to stop managing herself because she does not have a creative bone in her body and too many yes men around her. Her music sucks and she doesn't know how to market herself for various projects and to appeal to the younger generation. 32 grammys, and now she's realizing how important for her that the kind of category mattered over quantity of grammys for singles.

When you don't actually reinvent yourself, evolve and not actually busting moves anymore that is a huge indication you need to sit a few out. These people are billionaires if she never sang another forgettable song or remix one again, life will still be what it is for those satan worshippers. It will really get fun when they have to start making tough decisions about which of their family must go instead of everybody elses so they can stay on top. LOL, his wife showed up looking like Becky with the good hair. If you cant beat em join em. At first glance I thought that was Cher.

Black people (especially Black women) have been cheated out of Grammys since the award's creation. Jay ain't saying nothing that a lot of the industry doesn't agree with. Reaction to him in the white press was mostly positive.

He also said artist in category they should not be in... That was BeYucky's last grammy win. They let her win... How about why are we watching this awarding people for doing what they been blessed to do? We don't have any voting interests in the Grammy they win based on their piers who have voting rights only if they pay their dues.

He's a sell out, wonder when are they coming for him like they did Puffy crooked behind? Take down his stealing wife too.

Album of the year is a combination of the singers and songwriters. Beyonce has stolen credit from so many writers ✍️ they just won’t vote for her thievery. She definitely didn’t deserve all the ones her label got for her and I actually like her BUT You can’t cheat people and not think it’s not coming back to you. 🤷🏽‍♀️

This is a new generation, and now that she’s capitalized off the gays for this last cd she gotta come up with a whole new gimmick and they still won’t vote for her. Jay you can’t bully people into voting for her when they know she’s a thief and calls it “borrowing”. She doesn’t play music or actually write and these real writers and musicians getting their voice heard and payback through that vote. Beyonce even said herself artists hate for her to come to their concert because they know she going to “get inspired” translated to copy their act. 💯🎯

BJ and Swift are Satan worshipers doing rituals on stage right before your eyes. B & S both have forgettable songs. Who is bumping Swift's songs?

@11:39. That's exactly what Jay is saying. She has all those awards, but is continually shut out of the biggest category. As he said, even by their own metrics that doesn't make sense. Jay has a point.

And I loved when he said "some of you don't deserve to be in the category." Ouch.

She has NEVER produced a Grammy worthy album. Her second one came the closest. But that wasn't even good enough by standard.

So basically they are rich as hell, wife already has a bunch of grammy's for really mediocre music, they are in good health, live in mansions, drive top of the line cars, wear designer duds, millions in jewelry and still complaining about one more pointless award? LMBAO you can't make this up. Yashua that the wheel. With all that is going on with mass homelessness, hunger, wars, disease, destruction of our planet, and it's precious resources, this is what these empty, shallow, delusional, rich asshats worrying about? wow!!! How embarrassing, imagine how their ancestors are looking at these shallow fools.

So?!? Nobody else has 32 Grammys either. No matter how much you have, you always want what you don’t have.

32 Grammys and you could never convince me that Beyoncé is a better artist than a Stevie Wonder or a Quincy Jones or a Paul McCartney, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Bruce Springsteen or Michael Jackson These days it’s all about numbers. It’s all about the quantity and not the quality. Before they started handing out Grammys and other awards like door prizes, the quality of the music with so much better. Now artists have huge machine around that buy influence to buy these awards, because they want to be seen as the biggest and the best and the greatest, when surely, the artist in the game, the better for the public, and the consumers of art.

But these numbers. Numbers are overrated. Got 32 Grammys but she still can’t get album of the year, so what do the numbers really mean? More is not always better ir the best.

I’m gonna need you to sit down, Jay.

According to the Grammy metric, no one should win 32 grammys either. STFU Jay Z you make no sense.

Mariah Carey has never won Album of the Year either, and have more timeless singles and albums--most of the songs she has written. She currently has the most #1 hits of any solo artist.

TS needs to go back to singing with her guitar with those ole Prairie dresses. Ever since she started biting off the Pop/R&B singers trying to be sexy with those string bean legs and flat pan cake boo-ta she thinks she all that. They let her have it for not acknowledging Celine Dion when she got her award last night. Sit your clumsy bird grill down somewhere with them tired broken love songs. Bloop

In the words of Harry Truman to J.

The entitlement is outrageous her albums are trash she steals from others & lies about writing her songs. The Grammys she has now are too many she has 32 & that 31 too many

Interesting point. Never said 'wife.'. It's also quite fitting that he got the Dr. Dre award.

And Mariah Carey has never gotten Album of the Year. As much as a diva she is, she never complained. I wonder if there is an unwritten rule about repurcussions about vocally complaining at these award shows for not getting one.

Jay Z also poured champagne and drinking from his Grammy afterwards. Don't beg for the same award you disrespect.

Beyonce steals from everyone and does not have creativity nor depth. She doesn't write her own music and has 32 too many Grammys she doesn't deserve.
