While accepting theDr. Dre Global Impact Award at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, the rapper called out the academy for snubbing his superstar wife, Beyonc, for Album of the Year.
During his passionate speech, which he delivered beside his 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, Jay-Z pointed out Beyoncs 32 Grammy victories and questioned why she hasnt won one of the awards shows biggest honors, despite scoring the most Grammys in history.
Looking over at Beyonc, who sat in the audience dressed like a glamorous cowgirl, he said, I dont want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone and never won album of the year.
So even by that your own metrics that doesnt work. Think about that, the most Grammys, never won album of the year, that doesnt work, Jay-Z continued.
Some of you are gonna go home tonight and feel like youve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you dont belong in the category, he continued, as the crowd gasped.

Holding nothing back, he doubled down on his words, adding, When I get nervous, I tell the truth.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) hit the social platform to applaud the 99 Problems rapper for standing up for his wife.
This lady won the most Grammys and never won Album of the Year. You better stand up for your wife!! I know thats the fuck right, Jay Z!! #Grammyspic.twitter.com/3lfL5OEXBW
