In 2023, Beyoncé set the record for the most Grammy wins of all time, with 32 trophies to her name. Earlier this year, Jay-Z took a moment to call out the Recording Academy for overlooking Beyoncé in the Album of the Year category.

While accepting the Global Impact Award onstage at the 66th Grammy Awards, the rapper remarked that he didn’t want to embarrass the young lady, but noted that she holds more Grammys than anyone else yet has never won Album of the Year. He pointed out that, according to the Recording Academy’s own criteria, this didn’t make sense, emphasizing that the artist with the most Grammy wins had never been awarded the prestigious Album of the Year honour.

In other news, Pamela Anderson recently expressed her admiration for the singer after the musician paid tribute to Anderson and the iconic characters she’s portrayed in films and TV shows like Baywatch and Barb Wire in a new video.
