Jay-Z has had “the hottest girl in the game wearing my chain” since 2001 and he’s been holding her down ever since. Jay-Z and Beyoncé are one of Hollywood’s long-lasting, most celebrated couples.
The superstar pair, who wed in 2008, have built a media empire with their entertainment companies, Roc Nation and Parkwood Entertainment. They’ve created a beautiful family together, welcoming three children, daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, and son Sir, and they’ve dominated the music industry with a combined 56 Grammys and over 160 tracks on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts, according to Billboard.
While navigating all this success, The Carters have also rooted themselves in their marriage. The couple, who were notoriously private during the first few years of their relationship, frequently support one another at events and have collaborated on several projects together, including the No. 1 single “Crazy In Love.”
They travel the world together, work together, play together, and most importantly, defend one another, if needed. Jay has come to Beyoncé’s defense on several occasions when the world wasn’t seeing her value, attacking her with ugly rumors, or attempting to minimize her accomplishments as a Black woman. Fresh off Jay-Z’s beautifully honest Grammys speech, check out top five moments Jay-Z spoke the truth about Beyoncé.
Jay-Z said what needed to be said at the 2024 Grammy Awards, and we are not mad at it! While accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award for his contributions to the music industry, Jay-Z took a moment to call out the Recording Academy for never awarding Beyoncé the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, despite her record-breaking, chart-topping success.
“I don’t want to embarrass this young lady [Beyoncé], but she has the most Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year,” Jay said with daughter Blue Ivy by his side. “So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that: The most Grammys. Never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work. Some of you gonna go home and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you don’t belong in the category.”
“When I get nervous I tell the truth,” he added. Beyoncé did not comment on her hubby’s call-out, but smiled during his acceptance speech. We love to see it!
