Jay-Z Slams Grammys for Beyoncé Album of the Year Snub in Candid Acceptance Speech: ‘That Does Not Work’ | Video

“When I get nervous, I tell the truth,” the hip-hop icon said from the stage while Beyoncé looked on

Hip-hop icon Jay-Z got candid in his Grammys acceptance speech on Sunday, taking aim at the organization for snubbing Beyoncé in the Album of the Year category despite her being the winningest performer in Grammys history.

After thanking Dr. Dre and others while receiving the Dr. Dre Global Impact award, the performer began discussing how many in the hip-hop community (himself included) would boycott the Grammys for exclusion of their genre. While noting some things have gotten better over time, he took a detour to discuss Beyoncé’s notable snub.

“At least get it close to right, and obviously it’s subjective because it’s music and it’s opinion-based, but you know some things you know, I don’t want to embarrass this young lady but she has more Grammys than everyone but never won Album of the Year.
