JAY-Z Calls Out Grammys Over Beyoncé’s : ‘When I Get Nervous, I Tell the Truth’
JAY-Z Calls Out- Jay-Z was honored with the Dr. Dre’s Global Impact Award at the Grammy Awards and took shots at the organization for snubbing Beyoncé and keeping her from taking the Album of the Year award.
The multi-hyphenated media mogul had Beyoncé cheering him on, and he brought his daughter, Grammy Award winner Blue Ivy Carter, to the stage to accept the trophy.
As Jay-Z took the stage, he started off by saying he used the grammar as a sippy cup for Blue Ivy and reminded everyone she is grown up now and has her own trophies now.
“Thank you sir. All the doors that you opened, you showed us that we could be rock stars,” the artist said, spotting Dr. Dre in the audience
Jay-Z recalled that in 1989, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince Will Smith won their first Grammy and boycotted the show because it wasn’t telecast. “And then they went to a hotel and watched the Grammys,” he added.

“But then, in 1998, I took a page from his book,” he added. “I was nominated for Best Rap Album and DMX had put out two albums that year, they were both number one and he wasn’t nominated at all. So, I boycotted, and I watched the Grammys.”

JAY-Z Calls Out Grammys Over Beyoncé’s : Jay-Z was defending his wife Beyoncé, who has a total of 32 Grammys, but has never taken home the Album of the Year award.
Jay-Z acknowledged that music is subjective and said, “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everybody else and she’s never won album of the year.” So even according to your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about it. Most Grammys… Never won Album of the Year. “That doesn’t work.”
