While accepting an award at the Grammys on Sunday, Jay-Z slammed the awards show for never awarding his wife, Beyoncé, Album of the Year. Jay-Z was giving his acceptance speech for the second-annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award when he laid into the Recording Academy.

Jay-Z looked directly at Beyoncé as he said, “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year.”
