In his Grammy acceptance speech on February 5, musician Jay-Z chastised the organizers for not presenting his wife Beyoncé the Album of the Year prize.

Jay-Z received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 66th Grammy Awards on February 5, according to People. In his acceptance speech, the 54-year-old singer questioned how this coveted awards ceremony chooses winners. Hip hop legend: “Get it basically correct. As a music review, this procedure is subjective and based on personal perspectives.

Jay-Z criticized the organizers: “I don’t want to disgrace this young girl, but she has the most Grammys yet never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t make sense with your facts either. Think about it. The musician with the most Grammys has never won Album of the Year.” The Empire State of Mind hitmaker also said that some of his coworkers shouldn’t be nominated.

The “young lady” Jay-Z indicated was his wife, singer Beyoncé, even though he did not nаme her. The Grammy “queen bee” was nominated four times for Album of the Year but never won. The 42-year-old star has 32 Grammys, becoming the biggest winner.

When his wife’s Renaissance didn’t win Album of the Year last year, Jay-Z was frustrated too. This prominent rapper blasted the Grammy Awards sponsors, the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences: “We always wаnted to attend the Grammys. We want them to do well. That’s our goal.” He raged in another interview: “Her album changed civilization. Watch the world’s energy shift… Every combination is fantastic, inspiring everyone. It inspired everyone. Albums inspired creativity. The album of the year was required.”
