Beyoncé Says Jay-Z Set Her Up at Grammys After Humiliating Him, Did Beyonce just clap back at Jay-Z for humiliating her at the Grammys? It sure seems like it.
Has she had enough of the Grammy’s shenanigans and decided to take a stand? Y’all this is a doozy! The Grammy’s just went down, and you know very many icons took home various awards including Taylor Swift who won Album of the Year.

And that’s just the one thing that caught everyone’s attention, even leading to Beyoncé and Jay Z’s little tiff, with Queen Bey giving Hov a taste of his own medicine. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about let’s dig in, shall we?
Jay-Z called out the Recording Academy’s snubs against his wife, Beyoncé, during the Grammys on Sunday in a speech that drew attention to the lack of recognition Black artists have endured at the esteemed award show.
Greg Carr, associate professor in the Department of Afro-American studies at Howard University, says the music industry was built on exclusion.
“Once exclusion was no longer an option, the inclusion of Black music has been curated, at least historically, very carefully, to absorb that music while minimizing black people,” he says.
During Jay-Z’s acceptance speech for the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award on Sunday, he underscored this lack of acknowledgment.
“We love y’all. We want y’all to get it right,” he said. “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work.”
