"Beyoncé has more Grammys than anyone and never won Album of the Year": Jay Z's speech as he was awarded the Global Impact Award

While Queen Bey wasn't nominated for any Grammys this year, she came to support her husband, who received the prestigious Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. Jay Z, who went up on stage to collect the award with his daughter Blue Ivy, praised his wife and said how awards were "subjective" as his wife had "more Grammys than anyone and never won Album of the Year."

"She [Beyoncé] has more Grammys than anyone and never won album of the year. Some of you will feel like you were robbed. Some of you will get robbed. Some of you don't belong in the category! Sorry ... when I get nervous, I tell the truth!" Jay Z said in his acceptance speech.

According to People Magazine, the iconic singer has been nominated 88 times for the Grammys and has won 32 Grammys to her credit, more than any other artist in history.

In the 2023 Grammys, Queen Bey took home four awards from her nine nominations for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best Dance/Electronic Album for Renaissance, Best R&B Performance, and Best R&B Song. She lost Album of the Year for her album Renaissance to Harry Styles' Harry's House.
