Kanye West Approves Jay-Z’s Now-Viral Grammys Speech

The Grammys last night witnessed an incredible moment when Jay-Z was awarded the prestigious Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. Along with his daughter, Blue Ivy, he delivered a memorable speech, taking the opportunity to bring attention to the slow acceptance of hip-hop by the Academy. He shared a personal experience of boycotting the show, highlighting the need for the Academy to be more inclusive. He also pointed out the irony of Beyonce, who has the most Grammy wins ever, never winning Album of the Year. Overall, his speech was constructive and brought to attention important issues that must be addressed in the music industry.

Kanye West, known for his criticism of award shows, showed his agreement with Jay-Z’s speech by sharing the clip on his Instagram story. West has a history of defending Beyonce, as he famously interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Despite winning multiple Grammy awards, West continues to criticize the Academy. Nicki Minaj’s nomination for 12 different Grammys was also a topic of discussion. Despite receiving nominations, she has never won a Grammy. The official Grammys Twitter account mistakenly tweeted that Minaj’s song “Barbie World” won Best Rap Song, which confused fans as the award was given to a different track by Killer Mike.
