Jay-Z took a dig at the organizers of the recently concluded Grammys. The Roc Nation CEO criticized their sense of choice while making a case for his wife.
Jay-Z’s Speech While Accepting The Dr. Dre’s Global Impact Award at the Grammys
Jay Z looked dapper and harmless in his two-piece sheer black suit, but on the Grammys stage, the rapper called it as it seemed. While receiving his Dr. Dre’s Global Impact Award, the rapper gave a shout to Dr. Dre, stating that he was the pacesetter.
Next, Jay-Z made a joke about how people who felt angry at the Grammys boycotted it. The rapper named Will Smith, citing his Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air days, and adding how, despite his absence, the actor watched the event. Funnily enough, Jay-Z did the same thing after his 1998 Grammy nomination. This generated laughter and applause from the audience. Next, the Roc Nation creator talked about how the Grammys have refused to let Beyoncé have the Album of the Year award.
He goes:
“We want y’all to get it right. 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 embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year!”
As reported by HipHopDX, indeed, Queen Bey has the most Grammys in her possession. However, she has failed to take home the Album of the Year. The singer has been on the list four times, but it managed to slip past her. During her husband’s speech, she brightened her face with smiles while standing up to show her support. Not too far from Jay-Z was their beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy, draped in a white gown.
