Jay-Z was honored with the
Industry Icon award at the pre-Grammy gala on Saturday, January 27th. Jay
opened up and talked about his evolving feelings on the Grammy Awards. Jay-Z
had a complicated relationship with the Grammys for a long time. He boycotted the
Grammys from 1998 TO 2004. He said he ended the boycott when the
"beautiful Miss Beyoncé" was nominated. He said, "I realized that art
is super-subjective. The academy, they are human like we are and they are
voting on things they like. And we can pretend we don't care, but we do."
Jay-Z's heavily analyzed and intimate album "4:44"
earned him eight Grammy nominations, making him the most nominated artist at
the 60th edition of the Grammy Awards.
It was a shock to many that the
heavily nominated artist wont not a single award in the eight categories he was
nominated. Jay-Z's "4:44" album was nominated for Album of the Year but lost to
Bruno Mars' 24K Magic. A track from the album, "4:44"
which shares his album's title was nominated for Song of the Year and for Best
Rap Performance, "The Story of O.J." was nominated for
Record of the Year, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video. His Beyoncé collab
"Family Feud" was nominated for Best Rap/Sung
Collaboration. However, Bruno Mars' "24K Magic" won him
the Record of the Year Award, and "That's What I Like"
beat out Jay-Z's "4:44" for Song of the Year. Kendrick
Lamar graciously took home all of the rap awards. Many people on Twitter were
pissed because the 21-time Grammy Award winner/hip-hop mogul wet home
"awardless".

"JayZ deserved at least one Grammy tonight." @Sowmyak tweeted,

Some got sarcastic, saying Jay got what he deserved for cheating on Beyoncé aka Queen Bee, his superstar
wife. @ashleybrwites_ tweeted, "Jay Z didn't win cause he cheated on
Queen Bee, but I ain't the one to gossip *sips wine*". @laurenzup
tweeted, "see what happens when u cheat on beyonce". Others made fun
of him. @iamraay_ tweeted, "Jay z succeeds Rihanna to become
the artist with the most nominations with no wins in a night."
