JAY-Z turns his GRAMMY into a drink cup after using his speech to call out The Academy on Beyoncé’s behalf
During his acceptance statement that went viral, Jay told it like it was and poked fun at the Recording Academy for the fact that his wife has won more Grammys than anyone else.
“Just know that we want you to get it right.” As Blue Ivy stood next to him, he said, “We love you all; we want you to get it right, or at least get it close to right. Of course, it’s subjective.” “Because it’s music and an opinion, but some things—I don’t want to make Beyoncé look bad, but she has more Grammys than anyone else and has never won album of the year, so even by your own scales that doesn’t work.” That’s crаzy: they have won the most Grammys but never a record of the year award. “That does not work.”
“But besides that, we need to keep showing up,” he said. “Forget about the Grammys for a moment. Just in life—as nervous as I am having my daughter sit and stare at me—you have to keep showing up.” “Forget about the Grammys.”
“You have to keep going until they call you “chairman,” “genius,” or “the best of all time” and give you all the praise you think you deserve.” Do you feel me?”
